Inter Milan GM Beppe Marotta admits he's surprised seeing Romelu Lukaku at Roma.

The Chelsea striker has joined Roma on-loan for the season, having spent last term with Inter in a similar arrangement.

Marotta said: "The transfer to Roma? I couldn't imagine it, but in our world it's normal to have situations that disappear and others that appear.

"The fact that he is returning to Italy makes a championship that risked losing some of its value even more interesting.

"We are proud of the squad we have, in our opinion it is very strong."
