Premier League side Newcastle United have reportedly launched a shocking move for Chelsea wantaway striker Romelu Lukaku who is currently on loan at Roma.
After playing in almost 35 games and scoring 14 goals for Inter Milan the previous season, Lukaku is spending his second consecutive season on a short-term contract in Italy thanks to his loan at the Stadio Olimpico.
The 30-year-old has nine goals in 15 appearances under Jose Mourinho's guidance and management.
Many are wondering why Mauricio Pochettino hasn't re-call him back to Stamford Bridge given his performance in Rome and Chelsea's continuous striker problems.
According to reports, Lukaku and Chelsea have come to a permanent departure deal, provided Chelsea receive a fixed fee of £37 million.
According to speculations, Newcastle may try to sign the former Manchester United and Inter Milan striker during the January transfer window.
According to Belgian newspaper Voetbalkrant, the striker is considered by the Magpies as the perfect addition to their offensive line for the upcoming campaign.

Earlier this season, a report from Calciomercato stated that coach Jose Mourinho's team was looking for how to generate £37 million for the deal and they might be tempted to sell former Blues striker Tammy Abraham to raise the money.
Lukaku's prospects at Chelsea are dim because both Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku joined in the summer, and his comeback to West London has never really taken off.
His poor chances of restarting his career at Chelsea are further diminished by Chelsea's connections to Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney. Upon his return from Rome next summer, Pochettino will be eager to resolve the Belgian's destiny.
