Napoli want another Chelsea player as well as Romelu Lukaku – could unlock Osimhen

Romelu Lukaku and Antonio Conte are keen on yet another reunion in the Serie A this summer, but there appears to be many complications to this happening.

Napoli are locked in talks with Chelsea right now to find a way of getting this done, and one of those ways might be Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, who Chelsea would love to sign.

Sources: Chelsea ‘still there’ for Nico Williams, chasing Desire Doue, and pondering offer to sign Federico Chiesa!

According to our writer Simon Phillips writing on his Substack website this morning, the two clubs have been in talks for a couple of days now and Osimhen has become involved in these talks. Could this be the key for Lukaku to Napoli and getting his reunion with Conte?

Or, might there be another key needed to unlock this one?

Conte wants Casadei too!

Casadei to Napoli?

Phillips reports that Conte is not just keen on Lukaku, he also wants Napoli to try and sign midfielder Cesare Casadei from Chelsea as well, which could help open the door for Osimhen to Chelsea.

Phillips writes: ‘Something that has now come to light via SPTC sources that might help Chelsea’s chances is that Conte has also told the Napoli board that he likes Cesare Casadei, and Napoli have already had an interest in the Chelsea midfielder prior to Conte’s arrival.

‘Chelsea now know this and will be willing to add Casadei to the deal as well. Once again, it will be on Napoli though and the overall deal, and whether they will accept Casadei as ‘part’ of the deal. But Casadei has now been mentioned in talks as well as Lukaku.’

  1. Please for God’s sake Chelsea should do everything possible to get Victor osimhen.The Coach can not enter the field and do the playing.Hire good players to do job. Caiceda did cost one hundred million pounds same as Enzor. Why can’t we pay a hundred million to get a goal scorer.we need somebody to help Cole Palmer.

  2. No problem with out osimhen just sign chiesa and beir is enough to make this team compete . Though they need to strengthen their central midfield and fullback to help the centre back . Key to win the tournament is solid defensively with vicious attack . Get jao cancelo to play the defensive midfielder . They need a big man to battle in central midfield . Or play desasi as DCM .

  3. How much is the prize of casadei? How much is Chelsea will to give out Lukaku? If these two options are okay, a d there will no be any FPFA palaver. I then advise Chelsea to do business with. NAPOLI.

    Never the less, that prize tag on Oshimen, to me is outrageous and astronomically high.
