Jose Mourinho will link up with Romelu Lukaku again at AS Roma after their time at Manchester United in the Premier League.

Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho and Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku have been reunited five years after both were at Premier League side Manchester United.

Lukaku has joined Mourinho at Serie A side AS Roma on a season-long loan transfer from another Premier League club, Chelsea.

Roma have agreed to provide a home for Lukaku for the next 12 months after he was rejected by Juventus fans. 

"The club is delighted to confirm the signing of the world-renowned Belgian forward," Roma posted on their X.com account on Wednesday.

The club agreed a deal with Chelsea which will see Roma pay eight million pounds in loan fee for the 30-year-old striker.

Mourinho's side will also pay over seven million euros which is Lukaku's wage for the next year but has no obligation to make the deal a permanent one at the end of the season.
