The transfer saga involving Romelu Lukaku and Roma ended in successive losses for the Serie A giants, as they failed to secure the player's services on deadline day.
Lukaku had been linked with a move to Inter Milan, but it seems that he was not willing to make the switch to Italy. Instead, he signed for Manchester United, where he will be hoping to help them win major honours.
The deal between Roma and Manchester United saw Lukaku moving to Old Trafford for £75 million, which is believed to be one of the highest fees ever paid by a Premier League club for a single player.
Despite this, Roma have struggled to find their form since the arrival of Lukaku, losing two consecutive games in all competitions. The loss against Atalanta on Wednesday night was their third defeat in a row, leaving them in danger of dropping out of the top four.
Roma fans were left disappointed after the transfer saga, with many believing that they could have secured Lukaku for less money if they had acted sooner. However, the club has stated that they did everything within their power to keep Lukaku at the club, but ultimately, the decision was made by the player himself.
Overall, the transfer saga involving Romelu Lukaku and Roma has been a disappointing one for both parties involved. While Roma may have lost out financially, they have also seen their chances of winning titles slip away.
