For Romelu Lukaku, the season has started again without the player knowing where he will play.
If he only wants Naples and Antonio Conte is impatiently waiting to be able to find him again after their collaboration at Inter, for the moment, things are not getting off the ground.
A significant distance
According to the Sports Courierthe day after the 3-0 defeat at Hellas Verona, the coach spoke with sporting director Giovanni Manna about the possible arrival of the Belgian.
And for the moment, the gap would be big between the proposal of the Italian club and the request of the English club. The Partenopei would offer a loan of 5 million with a purchase obligation of 25 million when the Blues would want 40 million euros for a definitive transfer. The Londoners have lowered their request by 4 million compared to the departure clause present in his contract.
What is clear is that the fate of Lukaku and Osimhen is no longer linked. The Nigerian could sign for Chelsea but that would just be a late transfer window option for the English, who have already strengthened themselves quite a bit and continue to do so, especially with João Felix.
