Romelu Lukaku is ready to give his side of the story with regards to his 2023 transfer saga.
The striker did not have the best of times at Chelsea before loan moves to Inter Milan and now Roma.
His move in the summer was rife with drama but the Belgian has hit the ground running under Jose Mourinho, scoring seven goals in eight matches.
