Victor Osimhen deal paves the way for Romelu Lukaku’s Chelsea exit
Lukaku has given priority to Napoli to complete a deal for him and is currently waiting for the Naples outfit to make an official proposal to Chelsea, reports Fabrizio Romano.
The Belgian star has already agreed personal terms with the Serie A club on a contract until 2027. The striker will reduce his salary from €11m/net per season to €6m to make the transfer happen, which shows his desire to play under Antonio Conte again.
As for club-to-club talks, Gianluca Di Marzio reports that a financial gap remains between Chelsea’s asking price and Napoli’s offer. The Blues are holding out for €35m plus bonuses for Lukaku, while the Italian side are looking to pay around €25m for the former Man United man.
There is a lot left to play out for both deals to happen, but it looks like things are moving towards everyone getting what they want.
