Chelsea forward Romelu Lukaku is waiting for an offer from Napoli.
According to a report by Il Mattino via Calcio Napoli 24, Romelu Lukaku has stalled a proposal from Saudi Arabia to understand Napoliโs interest in him. Having previously worked with him, Antonio Conte likes Lukakuโs profile as he played a crucial role in helping Inter win the Scudetto in 2021.ย
Chelsea want to offload the Belgian to a Saudi Arabian club as they can activate the โฌ44 million buyout clause set in his contract. On the other hand, the Partenopei are expected to send a bid of around โฌ20-25 million for a permanent transfer.ย
Napoli are preparing a two-year contract with the option of extending it to a third and they are hoping to keep Lukakuโs salary to the same figures he earned last season at Roma where he was happy with โฌ7.5 million net. However, his actual salary in the contract with The Blues is โฌ11 million per season.
Napoli are set to lose Victor Osimhen in the next few days and club president Aurelio De Laurentiis will attempt to go for the 31-year-old due to his extensive experience in the Serie A.ย
