Lukaku was deemed surplus to requirements by manager Mauricio Pochettino and he made the move to Roma on loan this summer.

The Belgian has had a fine start for the club with three goals in his four games and he is open to staying in Rome for the long-term.

Amidst this, it is claimed that the Blues could propose to land Abraham in a straight-exchange deal for Lukaku at the end of the season.

Abraham was on the radar of Chelsea earlier this year, but he picked up a serious knee injury before the end of the 2022/23 campaign.

Despite this, the Blues continue to remain keen on re-signing him. They have a €80m buy-back clause but prefer a cheaper route.

It remains to be seen whether the Giallorossi would be tempted to accept the Blues proposal. It may depend on Lukaku's form this term.
