Reported by Fabrizio Romano, Desperate Move by Chelsea! 🚨 Lukaku AND Star Player Offered + £60M to Napoli for Victor Osimhen. In a sensational transfer twist, Chelsea is pulling out all the stops to land the highly sought-after striker Victor Osimhen! Sources reveal the Blues have tabled an astonishing deal to Napoli, including Romelu Lukaku, another star player, PLUS a staggering £60M with add-ons. The genius Chelsea swap deal that could see Blues finally land striker of their dreams Will this blockbuster offer be enough to bring the Nigerian sensation to Stamford Bridge? The fans are not in support of this deal as their best player last season is involved in this deal. The Fans are on the edge of their seats as the drama unfolds.
For the next week or so, as England’s football team continues its campaign, the transfer window might take a backseat in the minds of many fans. However, despite this distraction, there is still plenty of activity behind the scenes, with numerous deals, negotiations, and ambitious plans underway.
One such ambitious plan involves Chelsea’s attempt to bring Victor Osimhen to Stamford Bridge this summer. The Nigerian striker is one of the most coveted players of this transfer window, but he comes with a hefty price tag. Napoli’s asking price of £84.6 million is a significant obstacle, as few clubs can afford such an amount, even for a player of Osimhen’s caliber.
Chelsea, however, believes they have a strategy to reduce Napoli’s fee substantially. According to TEAMtalk, the Blues are considering including some of their surplus talents as part of the deal for Osimhen.
One likely candidate for inclusion is Romelu Lukaku, who is set to leave West London and has caught Napoli’s eye as a potential replacement for their own departing star. Currently, there is an £8.5 million difference between Chelsea and Napoli’s valuation of Lukaku, but it seems increasingly probable that he will be part of the trade in some capacity.
Lukaku is not the only player Chelsea is willing to offer. Other names on the table include striker Armando Broja, center-back Trevoh Chalobah, and Cesare Casadei. While Napoli may not be particularly interested in Broja and are considering other defenders besides Chalobah, Casadei has piqued their interest. TEAMtalk reports that Napoli sees the Italian as a potential successor to Piotr Zielinski, who recently transferred to Inter Milan. Chelsea values Casadei at around £16.9 million, and if Napoli agrees with this valuation, and Lukaku’s inclusion offsets a substantial part of Osimhen’s £84.6 million fee, Chelsea could move closer to securing a more manageable deal for the 25-year-old striker.
