Conte insists on Lukaku: he wants him in Naples by midweek. Regardless of Osimhen

Napoli’s attacking transfer market remains at a standstill. If Victor Osimhen it’s now out of the project, Romelu Lukaku he is instead eager to join. The Nigerian’s farewell would unlock the arrival of the Belgian, but at the moment everything is at a standstill because no convincing offers have yet arrived for the current Italian number 9.

The latest statements from Anthony Conte (who spoke of a “bath of humility” after the victory on penalties against Modena in the Italian Cup) should not be interpreted as a half-break with the environment, specifies the Evening Courier: the coach and president De Laurentiis speak face to face, not through a camera. Conte made no secret to the club’s number one “of the urgency he has to have Lukaku, regardless of the sale of Osimhen”, it says. The goal is to have him by the middle of this week.
