Romelu Lukaku’s long-awaited move to Napoli is nearing completion, with the Belgian striker scheduled to undergo medical tests on Wednesday. This step signals that the deal is in its final stages, with both clubs having reached an agreement in principle. Lukaku, who spent last season on loan at Inter Milan, has been searching for a permanent move away from Chelsea, and Napoli has emerged as his likely destination.
According to Romano Fabrizio reports on X that, "Green light also on documents for Romelu Lukaku’s move to Napoli!
He’s been authorized to travel for medical tests and contract signing.
€30m permanent deal plus add-ons, deal until June 2027. Never in doubt.
Here we go, confirmed" he said.
Lukaku's move to Napoli is expected to bolster the Serie A champions’ attack, especially with the potential departure of Victor Osimhen, who has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea. The medical examination tomorrow will be crucial in finalizing the transfer, and if all goes smoothly, Lukaku could be unveiled as a Napoli player by the end of the week.
Kepa on loan to Bournemouth
In another transfer development, Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is on the verge of completing a move to Bournemouth this summer. The Spanish shot-stopper, who has been Chelsea's first-choice goalkeeper for the past season, is seeking a new challenge after a mixed stint at Stamford Bridge. Bournemouth, keen to strengthen their squad ahead of the new Premier League season, have identified Kepa as the ideal candidate to solidify their last line of defense.
The move to Bournemouth represents a fresh start for Kepa, who will be looking to rediscover the form that made him one of the most expensive goalkeepers in history when he joined Chelsea from Athletic Bilbao. Both deals reflect Chelsea's ongoing efforts to reshape their squad, balancing high-profile arrivals with strategic departures to ensure the team is ready for the challenges ahead.
