The sports director of Napoli, John Mannais in London to try to reach an agreement with Chelsea for the double deal involving Romelu Lukaku and Victor Osimhen. Complicated, difficult: Aurelio De Laurentiis’ request is around 100 million euros for the African striker, 45 million euros for the former Inter and Roma striker. The distances are large, in both cases.
Blues ‘sponsors’ to convince Osimhen
According to what was reported by the famous English newspaper The Timesthere would be two Nigerian legends and compatriots of Osimhen on the field to convince the footballer to marry the Blues and force the hand with ADL. These are Didier Drogba and Obi Mikel who are trying to make the accounts and agreements balance.
What alternatives?
Osimhen would prefer Paris Saint-Germain above all else, but the arrival of Desire Douè suggests that PSG now wants to continue diverting the money to younger talents. Arsenal have only asked for information so far, Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia have tried to concretely test the waters but have never made a move, given Osimhen’s refusal to the idea of landing in Saudi territory. And Conte? Wait, not happy, and in the meantime against Hellas Verona he will play with… Giacomo Raspadori.
