The long-running Victor Osimhen and Romelu Lukaku transfer saga has taken a fresh twist as Chelsea and Napoli forge a new plan of attack in their respective pursuits of the strikers.
Chelsea have been linked with a move for Napoli talisman Osimhen for multiple transfer windows but they are yet to secure the services of the 25-year-old.
On the flip side, their efforts to try and sell £97.5m signing Lukaku have proven to be very difficult, with the Belgium international spending the last two seasons out on loan at Inter Milan and Roma respectively.
In recent months, the 31-year-old has been linked with a move to Napoli. And a day after Antonio Conte became manager of the Serie A side in early June, he had this to say about the Italian and his future.
“My future? In my head, I already know. I know what will happen. A lot of people like to talk, maybe because I don’t have an official agent. But I’ll decide,” he said. “I am in control of my situation. I will make a choice and once I explain it, everyone will agree with me.
