Chelsea to Pursue Separate Transfers for Osimhen and Lukaku
Chelsea are set to approach the transfers of Victor Osimhen and Romelu Lukaku as distinct negotiations, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. Initially, the club explored the possibility of a swap deal involving both strikers but has since shifted focus.
Chelsea’s current strategy involves selling Lukaku to Napoli while simultaneously aiming to bring Osimhen from the Serie A side. Romano reports that negotiations for Lukaku are centered around a permanent transfer, with Napoli having agreed to personal terms with the player. Talks between Chelsea and Napoli are ongoing, with Chelsea remaining committed to a permanent deal for Lukaku.
The Blues are now working on these deals independently, moving away from the idea of a swap to streamline their transfer activities.
