Following initial reports of Chelsea and Napoli working on a loan deal for Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian international’s agent, Roberto Calenda has responded to the speculations in an official report shared by popular sports journalist, Fabrizio Romano.
The Atheltic had initially reported that Chelsea was in discussions with Napoli to send Lukaku to Naples. In return, they hoped to secure an initial loan agreement for Osimhen, with an option to buy the 25-year-old the following summer. If the deal went through, Lukaku would have reunited with Antonio Conte, his former Inter Milan coach, who was then the head coach at Napoli.
