According to the latest report from Di Marzio's official website, Serie A powerhouse
Napoli, capital of Campania region of Italy
For the introduction of the Belgian striker
Lukaku (name)
showed keen interest, but with Premier League giants
Chelsea
Disagreements over the transfer fee became a major obstacle to the deal.
Reports say that Napoli boss Antonio Conte sees Lukaku as a key candidate for the team's striker upgrade, and even if the team fails to successfully sell Osmeen, Napoli is still determined to try to bring in Lukaku. However, Napoli's transfer strategy is based on their own financial framework, and they are only willing to pay a transfer fee of about 30 million euros for Lukaku.
In stark contrast, Chelsea insisted on a transfer fee of 43 million euros, a figure significantly higher than Napoli's psychological price. The gap between the two sides in the transfer fee for Lukaku's transfer negotiations brought uncertainty.
Neres remains another major target for Napoli, but it seems that Conte and the club's management are now focusing more on the introduction of Romelu Lukaku in the hope of completing the highly-anticipated deal before the transfer window closes.
