BREAKING: #Chelsea To Bring Victor Osimhen To Stamford Bridge After Selling Romelu Lukaku—-Chelsea hope to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli this winter and are confident they can sell Romelu Lukaku this summer, while Crystal Palace have identified Paolo Fonseca as a potential replacement for Roy Hodgson.
Elsewhere, Real Madrid still want one of Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland, and Brighton are the latest side to join the hunt for Nico Williams.
Chelsea are looking to sell Romelu Lukaku next summer as they hope to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this winter.
The Mirror states: “Chelsea are finally optimistic they will net a credible fee for Romelu Lukaku next summer as they prepare to explore a January deal for Victor Osimhen.
“The Belgian frontman has netted three goals in four starts under Jose Mourinho, who is enduring the worst start to a season of his managerial career, since joining the Giallorossi on a straight loan in the final 48 hours of the transfer window.
“Although the deal does not include an option or obligation to buy – Chelsea are encouraged by Lukaku’s recent upturn in form following his return to Italy and there is positivity they will finally be able to move him on at the end of the season. Chelsea have struggled to find a permanent buyer for their £97.5 million flop, who was made to train away from Mauricio Pochettino’s first-team squad in pre-season before a last-ditch intervention from Roma in late August.
“Osimhen is now understood to be looking for a way out of Napoli, who were threatened with legal action earlier this week by the Nigeria international’s agent following an offensive post that was shared on the club’s TikTok. Although Napoli have since issued an apologetic statement, relations between the club and player appear to be damaged beyond repair.”
