Napoli Advances Deal for Chelsea's Lukaku

Napoli has made an official bid for Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku as the summer transfer window approaches its end, with top European clubs, including Napoli, seeking reinforcements. Lukaku, who has had limited playing time at Chelsea and spent the last two seasons on loan at Inter Milan, is eager to reunite with former manager Antonio Conte at Napoli. Fabrizio Romano reports that personal terms with Lukaku have been agreed, but negotiations between Chelsea and Napoli are still ongoing, with Chelsea's asking price set at €43 million, while Napoli's offer is €30 million. The situation is complicated by Napoli's potential need to replace Victor Osimhen, who has been linked with a move away from the club. If an agreement is not reached soon, Napoli may redirect their focus to other targets, such as David Neres. Both clubs are under pressure as the transfer deadline nears.
