The Blues already signed 6 new players, including two new strikers in the summer. The club has no intention of keeping one of their experienced striker Romelu Lukaku, rather than wanting to sell him in this transfer window. Italian side Napoli are very much interested in signing the 31-year-old after speculations going on around their main striker Victor Osimhen’s future in Napoli.
Chelsea already brought in two new strikers, Marc Guiu from Barcelona and Omari Kellyman from Aston Villa and looking for another striker. But Lukaku’s future at Chelsea is very uncertain, as the Blues have lots of options in the striker position including Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nukunku, Armando Broja, and the two new signings. The Blues kept pushing forward to bring another new striker before the start of the new season, which means Lukaku has no future at Stamford Bridge.
The Future of Romelu Lukaku with Chelsea
Romelu Lukaku spent the whole last season with Italian side AS Roma on a loan spell from Chelsea. The Belgian international had a good season with the Italian side, netting 21 goals and registering 4 assists in 47 appearances across all competitions for Roma. The 31-year-old striker continuously performed brilliantly for Roma, helping the club to reach the Europa League position for the next season. Lukaku finished in the 6th place in the top goal scorer rank for Seria last season.
Napoli want to sign the 31-year-old Belgium international in the summer. This will lead to the reunion of Napoli’s new boss Antonio Conte and Romelu Lukau. Romelu Lukaku already played under Antonio Conte during his time at Inter Milan. Napoli also need a striker as their main striker Victor Osimhen is set to leave the club and join any big European clubs. PSG are interested in signing Victor Osimhen in the summer as their main player Mbappe left the club and joined Real Madrid. This opened the door for PSG to spend a huge amount of money to bring in some high-profile players. PSG admires the Nigerian and wants to bring him into the squad.
Well, despite Lukaku’s brilliant performance at Roma, Chelsea want to sell him as the club’s main focus is to give more playing time to the young one. Now the question is Whether Napoli are willing to that much amount for Romelu Lukaku or not. It totally depends on Victor Osimhen’s future at Napoli. According to the report of TheHardTackle, The Blues will ask for a transfer fee of around 25M for the Belgium international to Napoli. Lukaku is also interested in joining Napoli and wants to come back to Seria.
