It looks as if there are still plenty of players to be sold in the next month or so by Chelsea before the end of the transfer window.

They have already parted ways with the likes of Ian Maatsen and Omari Hutchinson for big money, however need to continue to sell if they want to make any more big-name signings this summer.

The likes of Conor Gallagher and Trevoh Chalobah are reportedly up for sale for the right price, with the latter actually being left off the pre-season tour to try and accelerate his departure.

Another player who is not out in the United States right now is Romelu Lukaku. It has even been reported that he is going to be training alone on his return to Cobham.

The most likely outcome for this summer looks like a move back to Italy, this time on a permanent basis to Napoli.

Antonio Conte crazy about Romelu Lukaku

It looks as if this interest is being led by manager Antonio Conte, who has coached him before in his career.

Fabrizio Romano has claimed that the Italian is ‘crazy’ about bringing the Chelsea man to his new club.

He said on the Fabrizio Romano YouTube channel: “Napoli want Lukaku, the directors want Lukaku, the manager, Antonio Conte is crazy for Lukaku and contacts already took place between Conte and Lukaku, they have a fantastic relationship.”

No chance of Lukaku return at Chelsea

Despite the new manager arriving to Stamford Bridge in the form of Enzo Maresca, there has been no talk of what would have been an unlikely reunion in West London.

Chelsea fans will be hoping that this summer is finally the end to what will go down as one of the worst signings in their club’s history.

Nicolas Jackson is likely to start the season up front when Manchester City visit for the first game of the season, providing he can return to full fitness after his recent injury.
