Jose Mourinho who prompted the transfer of Romelu Lukaku to Roma has recently been sacked.
New Portugal international Daniele De Rossi wants to keep the Belgium international beyond this summer according to La Gazzetta dello Sport (h / t Sport Witness).
However the transfer depends on whether Roma qualify for the Champions League. This is because they need to raise 43 million euros to sign a new striker.
Last summer Chelsea made a deal with Lukaku. The deal is said to be his last loan and he will leave permanently in the summer with the Blues set a asking price of 43 million.
Roma will have to sell one or two players in addition to Champions League qualification to meet Chelsea asking price.
The 30 year-old has scored 15 goals and provided two assists in 26 appearances for the Serie A side so far this season.
