Romelu Lukaku is unlikely to continue playing for Roma but his future may still be linked to Italy’s Serie A.

After all, the Belgian striker is nearing the end of his loan in the Italian capital with 20 goals and 4 assists in 46 appearances across all competitions with the Giallorossi.

And despite Roma’s initial attempts to convince Chelsea to extend Big Rom’s loan, the Blues seem intent on including Lukaku in a deal for another striker Pochettino’s side seem fond of.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, in fact, Chelsea are considering sending Lukaku to Napoli in a package deal for Osimhen.

Lukaku would be sent in addition to a huge transfer fee for Osimhen whose time at Napoli seems to have come to an end.

Moreover, with the potential arrival of Antonio Conte in Naples, Lukaku would reunite with the manager who got him to win a Scudetto with Inter three years ago.
