Roma director Tiago Pinto has hinted that Lukaku\u2019s time with the Italian side could be limited to his loan deal after becoming annoyed with reporters\u2019 questions.<\/p>\n<p>Lukaku re-signed for Chelsea for what was reported to be a then club record fee of \u00a395m over two years ago. Despite scoring 15 goals in his first season the Belgian expressed being unhappy at Stamford Bridge resulting in him being loaned out to Inter Milan last season.<\/p>\n<p>After scoring 14 goals in 37 matches during a season in Milan new Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino was keen on holding talks with Lukaku to bring the wantaway striker back into the fold at Stamford Bridge. However, his efforts were in vain and Lukaku made his intentions clear to leave Chelse either on loan or permanently.<\/p>\n<p>Roma have profited and the striker has scored 10 goals in 16 matches already this season resulting in questions being asked over whether the deal will be made permanent. The season-long loan deal has a reported fee of \u00a38m attached and Roma fans are keen to keep the Belgian for longer.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Romelu-Lukaku-5095514.jpg?r=1701454748539\"><\/p>\n<p>Roma director Pinto has been annoyed by reporters\u2019 questions about Lukaku\u2019s future beyond the summer and suggested that the forward might end up back at Chelsea.
