Zapping Onze Mondial EXCLUSIVE: the “Little Brother” interview with Randal Kolo Muani!
Chelsea are starting to lose patience with Romelu Lukaku, the Belgian striker the club are keen to part ways with in the transfer market. Arriving in 2021 for €115 million, Lukaku has failed to live up to expectations and has been loaned out successively to Inter and Roma after a disappointing season with the Blues. While Napoli seemed to be a potential destination, Antonio Conte’s request for the striker is being blocked by the need for the Neapolitans to sell Victor Osimhen first, which is delaying the deal.
Lukaku sidelined
Faced with this impasse, Chelsea have taken the lead in finding a solution. According to the Italian newspaper ‘Il Matino’, the Londoners have reached an agreement with Aston Villa for the transfer of Lukaku. However, the Belgian striker remains determined to join Napoli and seems ready to refuse any other offer, thus complicating Chelsea’s plans. In the meantime, Lukaku is training alone while the team is on its American tour. This situation is starting to seriously annoy the Chelsea directors, who are considering giving the player an ultimatum to accelerate his departure from the club.
