Chelsea is considering proposing a deal to Napoli where they would trade Romelu Lukaku for Victor Osimhen.
What an important goal! Romelu Lukaku was in the right place at the right time to give Roma the lead against Juventus. The Belgian striker, who is currently on loan at Roma, scored his fourth league goal of the year on Sunday night. It was a crucial goal that helped Roma secure a victory against one of their toughest rivals.
In other news, there is ongoing speculation linking Chelsea with striker Victor Osimhen. The Blues are reportedly ready to offer Romelu Lukaku to Napoli in order to secure Osimhen’s services. Osimhen has been in fine form for Napoli this season, scoring 16 goals in 29 appearances. Chelsea are said to be trying to facilitate a deal that would see Lukaku and a young player move to Italy in exchange for Osimhen. Negotiations are progressing, but the will of both Osimhen and Lukaku will also have to be assessed.
Manchester United are also looking to make a player exchange in the transfer market. The Red Devils could offer Harry Maguire to Everton as leverage for Jarrad Branthwaite. Branthwaite is one of United’s top transfer priorities this summer, and the club sees him as a young player with world-class potential. Everton values Branthwaite at £70 million, and interest in the 21-year-old is growing across the Premier League. United hopes that by offering Maguire as part of the package, they can secure Branthwaite’s signature.
In managerial news, Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly been given an ultimatum by Chelsea. According to reports, Pochettino must qualify for the UEFA Europa League or risk losing his job at Stamford Bridge. However, even if Pochettino is dismissed, Chelsea won’t be tempted to bring back Jose Mourinho for a third spell as boss. The club has already ruled out Mourinho as a potential replacement, despite his availability after being sacked by Roma earlier this season.
Overall, it’s an exciting time in the transfer market and on the managerial front for English clubs. Fans will be eagerly watching to see how these potential deals and changes unfold in the coming weeks.
