Napoli are currently evaluating the possibility of finalizing a deal with Chelsea for Romelu Lukaku before completing the sale of Victor Osimhen. This development marks a significant shift in the club’s transfer strategy as they prepare for the upcoming season.
According to Sky Sport Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Napoli are actively engaged in discussions with Chelsea to secure the services of Lukaku. Despite the high asking price of €35 million from the English club, Napoli are determined to proceed with the transfer. The Italian club are considering closing the deal for the Belgian striker even before resolving Osimhen’s future.
Lukaku has emerged as a top priority for Napoli as they seek to bolster their attacking options. The club is confident in their approach, buoyed by Lukaku’s willingness to join. The Belgian forward has not traveled with Chelsea for their pre-season tour, indicating his readiness for a move.
