Sky Sport Italia claim that Chelsea will try to offer Romelu Lukaku plus €90m and a young player to get Victor Osimhen from Napoli.
The Nigeria international will leave at the end of the season, as was agreed with the club when negotiating his new contract last year, and there is a release clause believed to be worth €120m.
Paris Saint-Germain have been the hot favourites so far, expecting to use Osimhen as a replacement for Real Madrid-bound Kylian Mbappé, while Arsenal are also another interested party.
However, Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio suggests this evening that Chelsea have approached Napoli to ask about Osimhen as well.
Osimhen replaced by Lukaku?
The intriguing part of this is that they hope to lower the cost by including Lukaku as part of the deal.
This could be more intriguing than many might think, as Napoli’s new director of sport is going to be Giovanni Manna, who already tried to bring Lukaku to Juventus last summer.
Lukaku has made it perfectly clear he does not want to remain at Chelsea and would prefer to stay in Italy, as after the loan at Inter, he spent this season with Roma.
