Napoli and Chelsea are back to negotiating. With the idea of bringing Lukaku to the Azzurri and Osimhen to London with two different formulas
Romelu Lukaku, Victor Osimhen and the Naples. A mix of names and strikers that will continue to be the talk of the town for several more days. The British media The Athletic reports in these hours an update regarding the strategies of the blue club that is working tirelessly on the operation with Chelsea that could see the arrival of the Belgian at the court of Antonio Conte and at the same time the landing of the Nigerian in London.
Napoli and Chelsea, negotiations underway
In these hours the two clubs are talking, trying to find a solution for the double transfer. For Lukaku there is still talk of a permanent purchase, while Osimhen could move to the Blues with the formula of a loan with an option to buy. An “option” not better specified, but it seems complicated that Napoli can be satisfied with the simple right of redemption attached to the loan of the Nigerian striker. More viable, according to what are the ideas of Aurelio De Laurentiis, a loan transfer with an obligation to buy for next summer.
The figures of the double operation
Chelsea’s position is always the same. In recent days, the London club has lowered its demands, going from the starting base of over 40 million to settling for around 35 million. Osimhen’s situation is more complex: the 130 million clause seems difficult to reach for everyone, so Napoli has started to evaluate the possibility of accepting something less than 100 million euros. As mentioned, the parties are currently in negotiations, with the transfer market for centre-forwards that could soon have a double shake-up on the Napoli-London axis.
