SHOCKING NEWS: 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.
Let’s be frank: 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. But despite this distraction, there’s still plenty of activity behind the scenes—lots of deals, negotiations, and bold plans.
One such bold plan is Chelsea’s scheme to bring Victor Osimhen to Stamford Bridge this summer. The Nigerian striker is the hot commodity of this transfer window, highly sought after but hard to obtain. The main obstacle is Napoli’s asking price of £84.6 million, a sum that few clubs can realistically afford, even for a player of Osimhen’s caliber.
Chelsea, however, believe they have a strategy to lower Napoli’s fee significantly. According to TEAMtalk, the Blues are considering including some of their surplus talents as part of the deal for Osimhen.
One likely candidate is Romelu Lukaku, who is on his way out of West London and has caught Napoli’s eye as a potential replacement for their own departing star. Currently, there’s a £8.5 million difference in Chelsea and Napoli’s valuation of Lukaku, but it seems increasingly probable that he will be part of the trade in some capacity.
But Lukaku isn’t the only player Chelsea is willing to offer. Other names on the table include fellow 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 captured their attention. TEAMtalk reports that Napoli see the Italian as a potential successor to Piotr Zielinski, who recently transferred to Inter Milan. Chelsea value 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 a more manageable deal for the 25-year-old striker.
