One player who has been heavily linked with a move away from Chelsea this summer could end up staying at the club.
At present, several names at Chelsea are attracting interest from other clubs, including the likes of Romelu Lukaku, Conor Gallagher and Trevoh Chalobah.
Lukaku is a target for Napoli. Their new manager Antonio Conte is crazy about Lukaku, so the striker is someone who the Italian outfit really want.
As for Gallagher, he looks set for a move to Atletico Madrid before the transfer window closes, while Chalobah could also follow him out of the exit door.
The central defender was left out of Chelsea’s squad for their pre-season tour of the United States.
Romelu Lukaku could remain at Chelsea
Lukaku spent the last two seasons away from Chelsea, joining AS Roma and Inter Milan on loan. This is someone who clearly does not want to be at Stamford Bridge.
Unfortunately for Lukaku, it looks like there is a possibility of him remaining in west London this summer.
According to GiveMeSport, as things stand, a move away from Chelsea is currently off. As a result, the Belgian could be forced to remain at the club.
Last month, gianlucadimarzio.com claimed that Chelsea wanted €35m (£29.8m) for Lukaku. So far, though, Napoli are yet to offer that.
Napoli need to include Victor Osimhen in Romelu Lukaku deal
Napoli can probably afford to pay £30m for Lukaku. The problem is Victor Osimhen and still having him on their books.
They will not want to be paying large wages to two strikers and will surely want Osimhen moved on before bringing someone else in.
It is why including the 25-year-old in the deal for Lukaku makes plenty of sense. It has been reported that £60m and Lukaku could get Osimhen to Chelsea.
However, it has also been claimed that Osimhen isn’t dying to join Chelsea at the minute, so things are really not looking good for Lukaku.
