AS Roma have registered their interest with Chelsea for Romelu Lukaku.

After blowing up a return to Inter Milan and seeing a move to Juventus stall, Lukaku is in limbo with the new season underway.

The Belgium striker is transfer-listed at Chelsea and without a shirt number.

But a third Serie A option has emerged with Jose Mourinho's Roma making contact with Chelsea to confirm their interest.

Il Tempo says Roma chief exec Lino Souloukou is today in London, fueling talk of negotiations kicking off with Chelsea over a deal for Lukaku.
