Reports Milan intensify talks with Chelsea for Lukaku | OneFootball

Sky Sport Italia transfer pundit Gianluca Di Marzio claims Milan are in talks with Chelsea to get Romelu Lukaku, even though Antonio Conte wants him at Napoli.

The Belgium international played twice for their arch-rivals Inter, then spent this season on loan at Roma, but is not part of the future plans at Stamford Bridge.

He is eager to come back to Serie A once again and it was assumed this would be for Napoli, where he could reunite with his former Inter coach Conte.

Milan still open to Lukaku

Instead, Di Marzio suggests this evening there has been new contact between Chelsea and Milan for Lukaku, with the Rossoneri also planning a meeting with the player’s entourage to discuss personal terms.

Napoli are unable to make any push for a new striker until Victor Osimhen finds a buyer, which is why they reportedly lowered the asking price to €100m for the Nigeria international.

Bringing Lukaku to Milan would be a very controversial decision, especially considering his past at Inter and the clashes he had with former player – now club director – Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
