Antonio Conte and Romelu Lukaku is going to reunite at Napoli as the Chelsea striker has agreed personal terms with the Italian giant.
Details of the transfer
According to SB Nation Romelu Lukaku has agreed a three year contract with Napoli which is worth of €6m and more in a single season.
Lukaku will earn half of his previous salary. Chelsea are interested in this deal because this transfer will accelerate their chances to sign Victor Oshimhen.
Romelu Lukaku and Chelsea are parting ways
After an horrendous transfer to Chelsea, Romelu Lukaku became a burden and a hated figure at Stamford Bridge. The Blues were continuosly trying to sell him.
Last season, Romelu Lukaku went on a loan to AS Roma. There he had a great season under De Rossi. Before that he also spent another loan spell at Inter Milan.
No one was activating his release clause to sign him permanently. This became a headache for Chelsea until the Partenopei offered him a three year contract.
In the 2022-2023 season, Chelsea bought Lukaku for £97m from Inter Milan. In that season, Lukaku was at the peak of his career. He and Lautaro Martinez led Inter Milan towards lifting the Series A title.
According to multiple reports, Inter Milan were forced to sell Lukaku because they were in a bad financial condition. During this time Chelsea offered a humongous amount of money to Inter Milan.
Inter Milan grabbed this opportunity and started to revive their financial condition. After coming to Chelsea, Romelu Lukaku opened his book with bangers. The Belgian was delivering masterclass performances week in and week out.
Then a controversial interview released where Lukaku commented bad things about Chelsea and praised his former club Inter Milan. The Belgian striker opened up about his relationship with the Chelsea manager.
There is a twist in this controversial statement. The entire interview was made in Italian language.
No club will tolerate this type of action from a player. Same thing also happened with Chelsea. Thomas Tuchel immediately side lined the striker.
Purpose of this transfer
Behind the sale of Romelu Lukaku, the Blues are plotting a move for Victor Oshimhen. Italian legend and Ballon D’or winner Fabio Cannavaro has expressed his opinion on Oshimhen.
Cannavaro said that Oshimhen is very unpredictable with his moves which can certainly puzzle the defenders. On top of that he said,
“Oshimhen can score three goals from two touches.”
This comment proves the ability of Victor Oshimhen. Cannavaro prefers the Nigerian striker over Romelu Lukaku and has advised Napoli to keep Victor at the Naples.
