Apparently, Napoli have agreed in principle with Chelsea for Romelu Lukaku.
Apparently, Napoli have agreed in principle with Chelsea for Romelu Lukaku depending on the fate of Super Eagles attacker Victor Osimhen.
Lukaku continued his career away from Chelsea, even though he was on their books; his relationship with previous manager Thomas Tuchel caused him to play in Serie A at Roma on loan.
Napoli yearns for Lukaku.
Calcio Mercato claims that Chelsea planned to sell him permanently and had tagged €38 million on him.
Antonio Conte, Napoli’s new manager, is well-known for his love of the Belgian striker; the two had already teamed to win an Inter Scudetto.
Conte revealed in a recent interview that his respect of Lukaku has faded and that he would prefer have him on his squad than set up to play against him.
According to the aforementioned source, Napoli has certainly moved for Lukaku and even struck an agreement in principle with Chelsea for less than the stated €30 million; but, the deal is claimed to depend on the exit of Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen’s circumstance
The Nigerian striker’s want to leave Naples for better opportunities is a poorly kept secret, and the team signed him on with a release clause to enable his departure.
Still, the deal’s cost is stated as about €130 million. Suiter interest has been turned off by this cost, particularly considering the striker coming off a disappointing season marked by ailments.
