Transfer: Chelsea to Pursue Separate Deals for Osimhen and Lukaku

Chelsea plans to negotiate separate deals for Victor Osimhen and Romelu Lukaku.

The Blues aim to sell Lukaku to Napoli while also acquiring Osimhen from the Serie A club. Although a swap deal was considered, it has not progressed.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea will now treat the two transfers independently.

Romano noted on X:

“Chelsea view Romelu Lukaku and Victor Osimhen as separate transactions. No swap negotiations are underway; Chelsea is focusing on a permanent sale for Lukaku. Napoli is involved, with personal terms agreed, and talks with Chelsea are ongoing for a permanent deal.”
