August 14 According to Italian journalist Di Marzio, Premier League clubs are currently considering a permanent signing of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen with cash (€60 million) plus Lukaku, rather than the previously rumored loan-to-buy deal.
It is understood that Chelsea personnel will fly to Naples within hours to reach an agreement with the Serie A side as soon as possible. Chelsea’s offer is €60 million fixed transfer fee + bonuses + Lukaku, while Napoli president De Laurentiis is asking for €70 million + bonuses + Lukaku + Kepa.
The journalist said that although there is still some distance between the two sides reaching an agreement, both are very optimistic that the transfer can be completed smoothly.
Personal terms with Chelsea have already been agreed upon, with a 5-year contract + €10 million annual salary + 80% image rights.
The 25-year-old Osimhen, who came through the Wolfsburg youth academy, has played for Charleroi, Lille and Napoli, leading Napoli to their first Serie A title in 33 years in the 2022/23 season. Last season he made 32 appearances in all competitions, 27 starts, scoring 17 goals and contributing 3 assists. The player is currently valued at €100 million.
