Chelsea in talks with Roma over Romelu Lukaku loan

Chelsea are in talks with Serie A side Roma over the potential loan departure of striker Romelu Lukaku, 90min understands. The Blues knocked back loan enquiries earlier this summer in the hope of finding a permanent buyer for Lukaku, but the Belgian rejected the chance to move to Saudi Arabia and saw Inter end their interest after learning of Lukaku's negotiations with Juventus. While Juventus are prepared to sign Lukaku outright, the only offers presented thus far have been as part of a swap deal involving Dusan Vlahovic in which Chelsea would also have to pay an additional fee - a proposal which was swiftly knocked back.

Mason Mount: Chelsea & Man Utd schedule further talks over transfer

Chelsea and Manchester United will continue talks this week with a view to resolving the future of midfielder Mason Mount, 90min understands. United have already failed with three bids for the England international, the last of which was worth £55m, and they had threatened to walk away from the negotiating table if that offer was rejected. However, United left that offer on the table for Chelsea, who were originally demanding £70m to sell Mount. The Blues suggested a counter-proposal worth £65m but 90min understands a fee of £60m would get the job done. Further talks between the two clubs will be held imminently with a view to a compromise, with United still determined to lure Mount to Old Trafford this summer. United have made it clear that they will not bow to Chelsea's demands and predicted a drop in Mount's asking price, which has decreased £10m since talks were opened, but whether they will increase their third offer is unclear.
