English Premier League (EPL) side Chelsea FC has offered Italian club Napoli the sum of €90 million in cash plus Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku for Victor Osimhen.
Gianluca Di Marzio, an Italian writer and transfer specialist, claims that Chelsea is considering enticing Napoli with a partial exchange for Osimhen.
In the proposed trade, Chelsea would pay €90 million in cash to Napoli in exchange for Lukaku, including a young talent, in exchange for Osimhen’s signature.
The transfer may eventually see the light of day because Lukaku was being courted by Napoli’s current director, Giovanni Manna, during his summer break at Juventus.

“The English club (Chelsea) are trying to understand the feasibility of an €80/€90 million operation with the inclusion of Lukaku plus a young player in the negotiation,” as quoted by Gianluca Di Marzio.
“Lukaku is a target of the next sporting director, Giovanni Manna, who already wanted to bring him to Juventus in an exchange with Vlahovic. The will of both Osimhen and Lukaku must also be clearly understood.”
According to reports, the deal may likely go through because Lukaku has stated that he would want to stay in Italy, where he played this season after joining Inter on loan.
