Chelsea welcomed Lukaku back to the club on Thursday, a decade after first signing him from Anderlecht. The Belgian joined the Blues for a club-record £97.5 million from Inter Milan, who were unwilling to sell him at the start of the summer.
The Athletic claim Lukaku will become Chelsea’s highest earner at £325,000 a week. However, with bonuses and image rights taken into account, the Belgian is reportedly set to pocket around £450,000.
Romelu Lukaku excited to be back at Chelsea
Romelu Lukaku spoke to Chelsea’s official website after he was unveiled by the Blues last night. The Belgian striker, who supported Chelsea growing up, said he hopes to live up to his massive price tag and deliver trophies for the London club.
Lukaku is yet to train with his new team-mates, thus a debut this weekend against Crystal Palace is unlikely.
