Antonio Conte is reportedly keen on bringing Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku to Napoli if Victor Osimhen leaves the Serie A club this summer.
Conte is expected to take over as Napoli’s new manager and is targeting the Belgian international as a key signing. According to Corriere Della Sera, Napoli is preparing for Osimhen’s potential departure and has started looking for his replacement.
Napoli is confident that either Paris Saint-Germain or Chelsea will meet Osimhen’s €130 million release clause for the 25-year-old striker. Conte, set to replace Francesco Calzona at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, has shown interest in Lukaku.
Lukaku, who spent the 2023/24 season on loan at AS Roma, does not wish to return to Chelsea and has a £37 million verbal release clause.
Antonio Conte and Lukaku previously worked together at Inter Milan, where they won the Serie A title. Under Conte’s management, Lukaku scored 64 goals in 95 appearances for Inter Milan.
