NEW Chelsea signing ‘has amazing talent’ – Spaniard can Join Blues £50M – Striker wants Chelsea green light to move
Here is a roundup of the top Chelsea news and gossip that we think you guys could have missed today –
Napoli and Romelu Lukaku are reportedly waiting for the green light from Chelsea to complete the Beligian’s move to Naples.
Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has agreed a three-year deal with Napoli that is set to see him leave the Blues for good.
The CHELSEA man looks set to move away from Stamford Bridge in the current transfer window, having spent last season on loan at AS Roma, as the Blues are seemingly keen to cash in on the big Belgian star.
That has led to alot of transfer speculation in the media which has claimed that a few clubs from Saudi Arabia are very much interested in trying to get a deal done for the big man – and he would be open to the idea of a big money move there.
However – Corsport in Italy report that Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has agreed a three-year deal with Napoli that is set to see him leave the Blues for good.
After a staggering £97.5m move from Inter Milan back in 2021, the belgian international fell out-of-favour with then-manager Thomas Tuchel after claiming in an interview with Sky that he wanted to return to Italy after just four months back in west London.
Now CalcioNapoli24 claim that both parties are ‘waiting for white smoke for a medical’.
It is said that the striker has been working on a personalised fitness plan masterminded by Napoli during his summer break after Euro 2024.

If the fee is right and CHELSEA want rid of Lukaku – we are sure that the green light will be given very quickly as the powerhouse is done in London. Napoli is the ideal move for him to make.
It is a shame that he could never fulfil that quality in the Premier League – he has scored goals wherever he has played when not in England.
OLMO FOR £50 MILLION –
Chelsea transfer target Dani Olmo will be allowed to leave RB Leipzig for around £50.6million, it has been claimed.
Over the past month or so there has been alot of speculation surrounding the future of Dani Olmo after his impressive performances at the Euros 2024 for Spain – in which he netted three times for the Spaniards.
Some of the games biggest and best clubs have all reportedly shown an interest in trying to get a transfer deal done for the Spaniard – who has a £58 million release clause in his current contract.
Fabrizio Romano says that a move could happen within the next few weeks as clubs will only have to pay £50.6 million for the Spanish star, despite his release clause.
Speaking to reporters, 26-year-old Olmo recently said that he is not thinking about his future: “We’ll see. Yesterday we celebrated all day and now I’m at the campus. The people who deal with that (transfer market) already know what I want to do.
‘I don’t know if I’ll stay in Germany, we’ll see. I want to be somewhere where I’m valued and loved and what I want to do is win. There are several options, we’ll see what happens.
“The truth is that between the Euro cup, the celebration and the campus I have seen little of that. What I want is an ambitious project and I want to win titles.”

Look, there has been alot of speculation on the future of Olmo, there is alot of clubs interested in the player, but if CHELSEA managed to get the player he would be a brilliant addition to the side.
It is as simple as that.
