Antonio Conte has cleared the way and gotten his favorite striker. Romelu Lukaku was officially announced today as Napoli’s new signing. After months of negotiations, the Belgian arrived in Italy yesterday, underwent medical examinations, and was officially confirmed today as Napoli’s new forward. His arrival also signals the departure of Victor Osimhen by tomorrow at midnight. We just need to see where. Exactly six days after Chelsea and Napoli shook hands on a fee of 30 million fixed plus 30% of the next sale, Big Rom signed a contract with the Azzurri until 2027.A record-breaking total in transfer fees! 💥Romelu Lukaku has secured some massive money moves in his career 💰 pic.twitter.com/ZXaXMezHs4— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) August 29, 2024 Knowing that his most prolific performances came under Antonio Conte in Serie A, it’s clear that the Belgian’s arrival has sparked serious excitement in Naples. The Belgian ruthlessly tore through opposing defenses in the Inter jersey under Conte’s management from 2019 to 2021. No other coach in his career has seen Lukaku score more goals than under the fiery Italian (64 goals in 95 matches), and he has never been as lethal and inspired as he was under Conte. He either scored or assisted every 96 minutes (64 goals and 17 assists in 7,832 minutes on the pitch).Finally! Chelsea and Napoli agree Lukaku feeIn the last 30 hours of the transfer window, Napoli must now find a new home for Victor Osimhen, who likely won’t surpass Gonzalo Higuaín’s move to Juventus for 90 million and become the club’s record sale. Aurelio De Laurentiis has an offer from Al Ahli on the table worth 65 million, and the Nigerian has been offered 30 million per season by the Saudi club. However, the striker does not want to move to the Middle East unless his condition of a fixed release clause after each season is met. So, by the end of today or during the final day of the transfer window, we should see a major showdown between Al Ahli and Chelsea for the Nigerian. The London club, having spent 261 million, is the biggest spender of the summer market, but a world-class number nine is something they’ve been lacking for years.##NAJAVA_MECA_8298041##
