According to Sky Sport Italia, Napoli have made a verbal offer to Chelsea for the transfer of Romelu Lukaku, proposing €25 million plus an additional €5 million in bonuses. The Italian club is eager to secure the Belgian striker even before finalizing the sale of Victor Osimhen. However, Chelsea value Lukaku at €43 million, making it unlikely they will accept Napoli’s current proposal.
Despite the financial gap, Napoli are hopeful that a deal can be reached, as keeping Lukaku could become problematic for Chelsea. If the offer is rejected, Napoli may redirect their financial resources towards acquiring another target, such as David Neres, and reassess their attacking options later.
The coming days will be crucial as Napoli awaits Chelsea’s response. The club is determined to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season, with Lukaku seen as a key addition to their attacking lineup.
