Napoli are reportedly close to finalizing a transfer for Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku as a potential replacement for Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker is on Paris Saint-Germain’s radar and is expected to move, whether to the French capital or elsewhere.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has reported that Osimhen is on board with PSG’s project and is keen on making the move. Discussions regarding personal terms are underway and are expected to go smoothly.
Moreover, the rumors involving Lukaku and Osimhen have gained more fuel. Diario AS reported that Napoli manager Antonio Conte confirmed the rumors on Saturday before the friendly match against Mantova.
Conte decided to leave the Nigerian player out of the squad, even though he wasn’t dealing with any physical issues. If the Italian club is leaving out Osimhen from their preseason preparation, it seems a deal could be on the verge of completion.
On Friday, journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Napoli and Lukaku have agreed on personal terms. The Chelsea striker is set to earn €6 million per season over three years, plus bonuses and the only obstacle left is agreeing on the transfer fee. Chelsea wants €35 million, but Napoli is aiming to pay less.
