Renowned football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently shed light on the speculation surrounding Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen and Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku.
During his YouTube broadcast on Friday night, Romano debunked the rumors of a swap deal between the two strikers, indicating that Chelsea is not considering such an arrangement despite Napoli’s interest in Lukaku.
Although there were previous talks of a potential swap deal due to Napoli’s interest in Lukaku, Romano clarified that Chelsea is handling the situations of the two players separately.
According to Romano, Chelsea views the situations of Osimhen and Lukaku separately. As of now, Chelsea is not expected to entertain the idea of a swap deal between the two players.
Romano also mentioned that Chelsea’s priority is sorting out Lukaku’s future before turning their attention to Osimhen.
He explained that Chelsea is focused on reaching an agreement with Napoli regarding Lukaku and that there are ongoing discussions between the player and Antonio Conte.
The situation involving the Super Eagles star is anticipated to continue until the end of the summer transfer window.
According to Romano, there are no significant developments expected soon regarding Osimhen.
It is anticipated that the big story surrounding Osimhen will not unfold this weekend, as the expectation is for his transfer to occur close to the end of the window. Romano pointed out that Chelsea’s priority is to resolve the situation with Romelu Lukaku before considering the potential transfer of Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen’s future has been a major transfer saga this summer, with reports indicating that he has agreed to personal terms with Paris Saint-Germain.
However, negotiations between PSG and Napoli have encountered obstacles despite a release clause being in place.
Although the Nigerian striker has expressed his desire to depart the Italian champions, his future remains uncertain as the summer transfer window draws to a close.
