Napoli Reject Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku Plus Cash Offer For Victor Osimhen

Italian champions, Napoli has been offered Belgium star, Romelu Lukaku plus cash for transfer of its star striker Victor Osimhen to Chelsea.

Napoli have now rejected the offer.

According to Napoli Magazine, the English Premier League side offered Belgium striker, Romelu Lukaku, plus cash deal to tempt Napoli to part ways with their star striker.

Osimhen has been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea and Arsenal as both teams prioritise a striker at the end of the season.

However, the Blues have reportedly made an offer for the Nigerian which was immediately turned down by the Serie A champions.

“As reported by Il Mattino, Chelsea are one of the teams most interested in Victor Osimhen, Napoli striker, for next season,” the website wrote.

“The English club would like to include a quid pro quo in the negotiation to lower the price of the price, but the Azzurri are not interested in Romelu Lukaku, so the Blues would have thought of including Armando Broja who had already been linked to the Azzurri team in the past.”

Last season, Osimhen scored 26 Serie A goals in 32 appearances to help Napoli win their first league title in 33 years. But this season, he has scored 11 goals and three assists in 18 appearances in the Italian topflight league this campaign.

The Senegalese goalkeeper took a swipe at Ballon d’or organizers for not including his name on the Ballon d’or shortlist and he thinks he was ignored because he doesn’t represent an European team internationally like France.

Edouard Mendy’s team mates Cesar Azpilicueta, Jorginho, N’Golo Kante, Mason Mount, and Romelu Lukaku all made the 30 man shortlist with his name missing after he had a very god first campaign with Chelsea wining the Champions league and keeping a record 9 clean sheets.

Speaking to Canal+ (via Wiw Sport), Mendy said: “It’s something that motivates me and pushes me to work. Honestly, I am wondering. If I had played for France and had taken part in the [European Championships], would we have this debate and this reflection? “Do I think it’s an injustice? No, I wouldn’t use that word. It’s something that motivates me to go forward, to work and be performant at club level and with my country, and as I said after the game with the national team, it’s the journalists’ freedom of vote and expression, and they vote honourably and conscientiously.”
