Napoli, Romelu Lukaku is far away: endless soap opera
The Blues want payment of the 43 million euro clause
Conte è getting more and more annoyed. The "his" striker, namely Lukaku, è increasingly far away. After the offer made by Napoli to Chelsea, amounting to 25 million euros plus bonuses, it looked as if the situation might finally unblock but the Blues have no intention of accepting the Parthenopean proposal.
As reported by several English media, the Blues want payment of the entire clause for the Belgian striker, amounting to as much as 43 million euros. A very high figure that Napoli cannot afford, also in light of the fact that Lukaku is no longer è very young (31 years old).
In short, the soap opera continues and the feeling è that we will have to wait for the last days of the market to see if, in the end, Lukaku will wear the Napoli jersey or not. Much depends on Osimhen. The Nigerian striker è on total stand-by. He has been waiting for weeks for a call from PSG, a call that never comes, making Osimhen increasingly impatient.
Actually, he could also settle at Chelsea but Napoli does not want to lose much and would prefer a different solution. In short, everything blocked with Conte who has to make of necessityà virtù. He would have liked to present himself at the start of the new Serie A championship with Lukaku at the center of the attack. That won't be the case and, perhaps, he won't be able to do so even after the soccer market is over.
