Chelsea have received positive news from Italy regarding their pursuit of Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen from Napoli this summer. According to renowned football market expert Fabrizio Romano, Napoli is now open to allowing Osimhen to leave if a deal involving Romelu Lukaku is part of the arrangement.
Chelsea is keen to acquire the Nigerian forward this summer, but Paris Saint-Germain is also interested in him as a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappe, who is expected to join Real Madrid.
Although PSG has yet to finalize a deal with Napoli, Chelsea is actively seeking a proven goal scorer to enhance their attack this season. Napoli might be willing to make an exception for Chelsea if they include Lukaku in a player-plus-cash deal.
New Napoli manager Antonio Conte is eager to have Lukaku lead his attack for the upcoming season, and Lukaku himself is enthusiastic about reuniting with Conte at Napoli. This could be a favorable arrangement for all parties involved.
However, Chelsea will need to persuade Osimhen to join them, particularly since they will not be competing in the Champions League next season.
