Serie A powerhouse Napoli have made a formal offer to Premier League giants Chelsea for striker Romelu Lukaku, according to the latest reports from transfer expert Di Marzio. The offer, which includes a fixed fee of 25 million euros and a bonus clause of 5 million euros, shows Napoli's sincerity and determination to introduce Lukaku.
However, Chelsea's side valued Lukaku at a whopping €43 million, making Napoli's offer look relatively inadequate to Chelsea. It is difficult for Chelsea to accept such a price, as it is a large gap with their assessment of Lukaku's value.
For Lukaku himself, he faces the decision of whether to leave Chelsea or not. If Chelsea rejects Napoli's offer, he may remain in London, but this may also bring some trouble to Chelsea's lineup and tactical arrangement. Lukaku, as a powerful striker, will undoubtedly have a significant impact on Chelsea's offensive end.
For Napoli, they now have to wait for a reply from Chelsea. If they receive a negative response, they may consider using the funds for other transfer deals, such as bringing in players like Brazilian winger Neres. Meanwhile, Napoli will also continue to evaluate future candidates for the forward line to ensure that the team's attacking strength is maintained and improved.
