Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is set to take a major pay-cut to join AS Roma.

Lukaku is in Italy to complete his loan move after the two clubs reached an agreement over the weekend.

Roma will pay £7m for a loan fee, with Chelsea accepting the offer on the condition that Lukaku agrees to a £7m pay-cut for the year.

Chelsea will cover a percentage of Lukaku's wages so long as he agrees a reduction from his £17m salary to £10m, says the London Evening Standard.

The Belgium is expected to agree to the compromise.
