Transfer: Chelsea to negotiate Osimhen, Lukaku as separate deals

Chelsea are looking to negotiate deals for Victor Osimhen and Romelu Lukaku separately.

The Blues want to sell Lukaku to Napoli and also get Osimhen from the Serie A side.

They tried to discuss a swap deal involving the two strikers, but that has not gone very far.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea will now work on the two players as different transfers.

Romano wrote on X: “Understand Chelsea see Romelu Lukaku and Victor Osimhen as separate deals.

“No negotiations over swap; Chelsea are focused now on selling Lukaku on permanent deal.

“Napoli are on it with personal terms agreed, talks ongoing with Chelsea as only open to permanent sale.”
