Aston Villa have successfully negotiated terms with Chelsea for the transfer of Romelu Lukaku, according to reports from Il Mattino via CN 24. The deal between the two clubs is complete, with Chelsea eager for Lukaku to finalize personal terms with Villa. However, the Belgian striker has expressed a strong preference for joining Napoli, desiring to reunite with Antonio Conte.
Despite the agreement, Lukaku remains resolute in his desire to play for Napoli. Chelsea, running out of patience with the situation, are keen to resolve the matter promptly. Lukaku is currently training separately, highlighting the urgency for a resolution.
Conte and Napoli await developments
Antonio Conte, awaiting Lukaku’s arrival at Napoli, is increasingly concerned about the lack of progress. The Italian manager faces a challenging situation with Victor Osimhen, who remains in the squad but is not being utilized in matches. Osimhen’s unresolved future is a significant roadblock, preventing Napoli from making a move for Lukaku.
The impasse leaves Napoli unable to finalize the signing of Lukaku until Osimhen’s departure is sorted out. Conte’s worry grows as the transfer window progresses, with both Chelsea and Napoli eager for a swift resolution to the ongoing saga.
