But there has also been alot of speculation in the media that Victor Osimhen is a player that the Blues are very much interested in signing – especially after he revealed last season that he wanted out of the Italian giants this summer window.
Antonio Conte has already received assurances that his other key players at Napoli, including Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who impressed for Georgia at Euro 2024, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Frank Anguissa and Stanislav Lobotka will not be sold.
Napoli have opened talks with CHELSEA over a deal for Romelu Lukaku but the Premier League club are not open to another loan and had initially held out for a team to meet the Belgium international’s £38m release clause
