In a move that looks beneficial to Chelsea, Romeleu Lukaku has agreed on personal terms to join his old and long-time boss Antonio Conto in Napoli for the upcoming.
Antonio Conte who Napoli recently appointed as the head, has been seen delivering his likeness for Lukaku in the past years during his time at Inter Milan with the striker having a good goal-scoring season for the Italian club.
Lukaku who joined Chelsea in a big move before the end of the Abrahomivic Era has had a tough life with the club after a poor performance in his first season after rejoining the club, the Belgian star has been linked with Napoli immediately after the takeover of Antonio Conte.
In a slashed price for the Belgian, Chelsea is reportedly currently asking for €40 million for the striker, a price less than half of the transfer fee paid before the star joined Chelsea from Inter Milan in the 2021 season, Chelsea had paid.
The deal currently is hanged at the disposal of Nigerian Striker and Napolis star Man Victor Osihimen who is currently linked with a move to French giant Parisian German (PSG).
It has been reported that Lukaku had taken a pay cut in the 2023 2024 season in order to complete a loan to Napois rival AS Roman, during his time at AS Roman the Belgian had a good playing time with Jose Mourinho after being favoured instead of the English and Nigerian Origin Tammy Abraham.
Chelsea who are looking at options in getting back the €113 million paid for the striker has had several obstacles among the unwillingness of Napoli to pay above €25m for the former Manchester United player.
In the past weeks, the Chelsea player has attracted clubs from Saudi Arabia but Lukaku and his team have been reluctant to agree on a deal outside Europe because of his hope of reuniting with his former boss, Conte in who he enjoined a powerful goal-scoring season in Inter Milan.
It has been perceived that Napoli who is hinged on dispensing Nigerian superman Victor Osihmen before the end of the current transfer window is in awe to get Lukaku as the new point man for the club as he has been seen as the suitable replacement also with the successes recorded with Conte in the past.
PSG have in the past week engaged Nopli for the signature of Victor Oshimen, though unwilling to pay the release clause for the Nigerian the French club had seen Victor as the possible replacement after the exit of Kylian Mbappe who joined Real Madrid in a free transfer.
Lukaku is currently willing to take a pay cut to make his current dream of reuniting with his former boss Antonio Conte a move that is thought to be beneficial to both the team and the player.
Chelsea is reportedly looking for all options available to offload Lukaku who has been at loggerheads with the club’s fan base after a poor performance in his Chelsea return.
The current agreement between Lukaku and Napoli has reportedly slashed his salary from €11m per season to €6m
