Napoli are close to signing Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea after a breakthrough in talks.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Belgium striker, 31, is expected to join the Italian club for a fee of about \u00a330m on a permanent deal that will include a sell-on clause.<\/p>\n

It remains possible the transfer could lead to Victor Osimhen moving in the opposite direction, with Chelsea preferring an initial loan deal for the Nigeria forward.<\/p>\n

Napoli’s move for Lukaku has been driven by manager Antonio Conte, under whom the Belgian enjoyed two prolific seasons for Inter Milan from 2019 to 2021.<\/p>\n

The striker rejoined Chelsea in 2021 for \u00a397.5m but has spent the past two seasons on loan in Italy, first back at Inter and then with Roma.<\/p>\n

His return to Stamford Bridge proved unsuccessful and he has not played for the Blues since May 2022.<\/p>\n

Chelsea are looking to offload players as their senior squad has swelled to more than 40 after 11 signings this summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
