Both Romelu Lukaku as Scott McTominay They are one step away from wearing the Azzurri shirt and could travel to Italy as early as Wednesday morning. De Laurentiis’ club will pay Chelsea and Manchester United 30 million euros each, plus a percentage of future sales. The southerners decided to bring forward these two operations without having any certainty yet about his most important transfer, that of Victor Osimhen.
His agent made it very clear yesterday that the striker wants to stay in Europe, ruling out considering the proposal of Al AhliThe offer from the Saudi League, where the African would earn more than 40 million net per season, is still on the table, awaiting new movements from the clubs interested in his services since the beginning of the market, PSG and Chelsea. The Parisians have not yet presented an official proposal, although Naples believes that they will do so before the market closesDe Laurentiis was asking for 90 million euros for his star, but the offer from Al Khelaifi’s club was unlikely to exceed 60.
Something that can play in favor of the Azzurri are the contacts with the Chelsea. During negotiations for Lukaku, the Blues expressed their intention to reopen talks for Osimhen after weeks of silence.
