Lukaku is once again on his way out of Chelsea, who snatched him from Inter in 2021 by paying a whopping 115 million euros for his contract
Lukaku in Serie A, act four. The Belgian is travelling quickly towards his return to the top Italian league. Having returned to Chelsea after the end of the experience at Roma, the Belgian center forward was immediately replaced on the transfer market by the English club, who don’t want to see him even on a postcard. This time, however, he should only leave on a permanent basis and for 40 million euros.
But in reality the value of the class of ’93 from Antwerp – who won a Scudetto withInter in 2021, returning a year later and breaking with the same Nerazzurri club twelve months later… – would have already dropped to 30 million. Indeed, even to a few million less. ‘La Repubblica’, in fact, speaks of 25 million and, above all, of “close agreement” Between Napoli e Chelsea.
It’s not a mystery, Conte he wants to embrace his prodigal son again, considering him the perfect replacement for Osimhen, even if the Nigerian has not yet been sold. Furthermore, to date there have been no official proposals, at least not of the scale expected Of Lawrence.
For the newspaper, therefore, Napoli is about to defeat AC Milan’s competition, getting their hands on the card of the striker currently engaged in Euro 2024 with his Belgium. Operation worth 25 million, writes the Italian source without giving details on the salary that the Belgian in blue would receive. In London he earns around 11 million, definitely too much for Napoli as for any other Italian club.
Lukaku, desire for Serie A: future between Conte and Milan
Lukaku wants to go to Italy and return to being coached by Conte, the coach with whom he bonded the most and had the best performance, winning the tricolor in the 2020/2021 season. But clearly Milan would also be a welcome destination for the Belgian, looking for redemption after a year in yellow and red that was not exciting on an individual level. He has scored goals, 21 in total between the league and the cups, but he has always failed in the big matches and key moments.
For the Rossoneri there is talk of a possible ‘double’ in attack, Lukaku more so Abraham (he formerly of Chelsea), always keeping in mind that the priority of Cardinale’s club remains Joshua Zirkzee despite with agent Kia Joorabchian no agreement on commissions has been reached so far. So much so that other big clubs have swooped on the attacker with a 40 million clause, from Manchester United to Juventus.
