Chelsea and Napoli Could Still Work Out Transfer for Veteran Striker Amid PSG Hurdle

Last week, journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Napoli and Romelu Lukaku have reached an agreement on personal terms. The Chelsea striker is expected to earn €6 million per season over a three-year contract, with additional bonuses.

Moreover, Lukaku is supposed to replace Victor Osimhen. With reports once again linking the Nigerian to Paris Saint-Germain, the Serie A team likely had to prepare for a replacement striker.

However, reports now suggest that this interest has gone cold. Le10Sport reported that PSG currently has no plans to recruit a new No. 9.

Luis Enrique is set to start the 2024-2025 season with Gonçalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani. Unless one of them leaves, Paris won’t be looking to fill this position. 

The Athletic (h/t The Mirror) are reporting that Antonio Conte and Lukaku could reunite this summer. Lukaku, who thrived under Conte at Inter Milan, has struggled since his high-profile move to Chelsea.

After a loan spell back in Italy, he might be heading to Napoli to join Conte once again, although there’s also interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League.
