Napoli, breakthrough in negotiations with Chelsea for Romelu Lukaku
Romelu Lukaku moves closer to Napoli
Napoli is again getting serious about Romelu Lukaku. After negotiations between the Neapolitan club and Chelsea seemed to have stalled due to a lack of agreement on the transfer formula, the Neapolitan club reportedly decided to change its perspective, proposing to the Londoners no longer a loan transfer but an outright sale.
Reporting the breakthrough in the negotiation between the two clubs è 'Sky Sport' according to which Napoli would have proposed to Chelsea a consideration of 30 million euros for the transfer of the Belgian striker, who è owned by the Blues since 2021 but for some time now has no longer been in the club’s plans, so much so that he has played on loan first at Inter and then at Roma in the past two seasons.
It's precisely for this reason that Chelsea would not accept a third loan transfer of the 1993-born center forward: the club's management is determined to thin out a squad that currently has more than forty elements, giving new coach Enzo Maresca more certainty at the level of players available for the long season that has just begun.
Therefore, all that remains to be done is to wait what Chelsea's response to Napoli's offer will be: what è is certain è that the Neapolitan club is intent on giving Antonio Conte a further reinforcement for the offensive sector, just a few days after the signing of David Neres, who arrived from Benfica in exchange for 28 million euros, plus another 2 in bonuses upon the achievement of certain personal goals.
