Napoli are keen to sign Romelu Lukaku as per the news. At the same time, Chelsea want a move for Victor Osimhen. The 25-year-old striker has made clear of his intentions to leave the Serie A side. As a result, the Italian team is looking to replace him. They think the Belgian striker will be a good replacement for him. They were very poor in the league last time. While they had managed to win the title in 22/23, they dropped straight down to a 10th place finish. Now, they are willing to challenge for the title once more. New manager Antonio Conte has also joined them. They will need a proper striker to help them reach their goals.
Even Chelsea had a mixed 23/24 season. They finished 6th in the Premier League. But, they would fail to qualify for the UEL. Man Utd beat Man City in the FA Cup final. As a result, the Red Devils will be playing in the UEL. Meanwhile, the Blues will now be a part of the UECL. At the same time, Newcastle are out of Europe altogether. The London Blues were in contention to win the EFL Cup last campaign. But, Liverpool beat them after extra time in the finals. Now, Chelsea are also looking to rebuild. They want to sign the Nigerian striker. So, they are willing to let Romelu Lukaku join Napoli as per the news.
Napoli can easily get Romelu Lukaku
The Serie A side are trying to make the most of the Blues’ interest in Osimhen. As a result, Napoli are trying to get Romelu Lukaku as part of the deal. Chelsea will have to get to terms with that. Especially, since they want the Nigerian striker. Meanwhile, the Belgian has already proved himself in the Serie A. He has already played for Inter Milan twice. Also, he was on loan at Roma in the previous campaign. At the same time, he is a world-class striker. He may be ageing but his figures are excellent. As per en.wikipedia.org, he has 300+ goals in his club career. Also, he has 85 goals in 119 caps for Belgium.
As per the latest news, Napoli want Romelu Lukaku plus cash and a player for the 25-year-old striker. They will be okay with either Trevoh Chalobah or Cesare Casedei. The terms do seem harsh for Chelsea. But, that is the price they will have to pay for landing a top-class young striker. The question remains of how the Blues will approach the deal. They are keen to finalize the move. Arsenal and PSG are also in the race for signing the Nigerian. The Blues will have to move quickly to secure a move for him.
Kepa to be a part of the deal?
The good thing is that Napoli and Romelu Lukaku are both keen for the move. Chelsea are okay with the Belgian signing for Aston Villa. But he is set on joining the Serie A side. So, the Blues will be more than happy to use him to lure Osimhen away. As per the chelseachronicle.com, now Kepa could also be on his way to Italy. The Spaniard was on loan at Real Madrid in the last season. He has now returned and will be leaving Stamford Bridge on a permanent deal.
The Blues already have signed Filip Jorgensen from Villareal. So, they will be quite content with Romelu Lukaku and Kepa joining Napoli. They are keen to bring-in new players. But, at the same time they are also keeping their budget in-check. So, they want to spend as less as possible on Osimhen. They can use both the players as leverage and ask the Italian side for a reduced price for the striker.
