Is the end of his transfer saga near? Italian media agree that Romelu Lukaku is on his way to Napoli for a permanent deal. In the shadow of Vesuvius, he is reunited with his former coach Antonio Conte, who played a key role in the deal. A three-year contract is ready.
Romelu Lukaku – Napoli: Here we go?
It has been a secret for some time that our national number 9 has already set his sights on Napoli, where his former Inter coach, Antonio Conte, is in charge.
Two years later, the duo will fall into each other’s arms again, according to various Italian media outlets.
“The Azzurri have reached an agreement with Chelsea: the Belgian will come to Napoli permanently,” La Gazzetta dello Sport opens its report on the transfer of our compatriot.
Lukaku himself has had a personal agreement with the club for some time, reportedly negotiating a three-year contract worth in excess of £6m per season.
Just in: Current Napoli striker Osimhen Victor’s transfer has been delayed. Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain – who have lost Gonzalo Ramos to injury – are in pole position, but no formal bid has been made yet.
But Napoli no longer wants to give up. On the contrary, they have increased their offer for Lukaku to €30 million plus 30% on the Belgian’s future sale.
This new deal seems to have convinced the English completely. It seems that the question is no longer whether Lukaku’s move to Napoli will be announced, but when.
