The transfer saga around Victor Osimhen has lasted for a long time. Perhaps even too long. Napoli set the high price, with no room for “discount”, causing them to have only one interested party – Paris Saint-Germain. The Saints knew that very well and used their position to haggle for weeks. PSG offered 40 million less than Napoli demanded, and the situation reached a dead end, with Napoli being unable to either sell the Nigerian or bring in the new forward and Antonio Conte’s big wish, Romelu Lukaku.Chelsea and Napoli are reportedly in negotiations for a swap deal involving Romelu Lukaku and Victor Osimhen. 👀 pic.twitter.com/35LmOfc7QN— SPORF (@Sporf) July 30, 2024 However, suddenly, the tables have turned! Napoli might have awaited their vengeance since PSG is no longer in control. Namely, instead of waiting for the French to purchase Osimhen and then buying Lukaku from Chelsea, Napoli and the Blues decided to eliminate the “middleman” – in this case, Paris Saint-Germain.Chelsea don’t give up on Atletico’s Nigerian-descent forwardAs per Corriere dello Sport, the Premier League and Serie A sides are seriously considering swapping the two forwards, which would resolve all their problems. This plan is still in the early stages, and nothing is certain yet, but if the deal goes through, the Ligue 1 champions would undoubtedly be the biggest losers of this transfer window.What’s certain is that Osimhen will leave, and Lukaku will arrive at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at some point. They’re so sure of it in Naples that Conte has already given the Belgian some instructions concerning the pre-season period and included him in the plans for the upcoming season, according to Sky Sport Italia.##NAJAVA_MECA_8242053##
