Conte sets to sign Chelsea star for Napoli amid Osimhen exit


 Antonio Conte is reportedly eager to bring Chelsea striker, Romelu Lukaku to Napoli once Victor Osimhen eventually leaves the Serie A club this summer.

Conte is expected to take charge of Napol as their new manager this summer and is targeting a move for the Belgium international.

According to Corriere Della Sera, Napoli is preparing for the potential departure of Osimhen this summer and has started seeking a replacement for the Nigeria international.

Napoli is looking for Osimhen’s €130 million release clause to be met, confident that either Paris Saint-Germain or Chelsea will make the necessary payment for the 25-year-old striker.

Conte, who is set to replace Francesco Calzona at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, has expressed his interest in Lukaku to Napoli.

Lukaku, who spent the 2023/24 season on loan at AS Roma, does not wish to return to Chelsea and has a £37 million verbal release clause.

Conte and Lukaku previously teamed up at Inter Milan, winning the Serie A title.

Under Conte’s management, Lukaku scored 64 goals in 95 appearances for Inter Milan.
