"A swap deal between Chelsea and Napoli could potentially be negotiated as new boss Antonio Conte ‘only’ wants Romelu Lukaku"

I have said this before and actually I agree more if Osimhen stays and appears with Conte to gain greater experience than choosing Lukaku. I'm worried that Osimhen will leave and be replaced Lukaku. But the more rumors spread, the more I become convinced that Osimhen will soon leave Napoli, but with a transfer fee of under €130m.
Arsenal is the team most associated with Osimhen, maybe there is Chelsea in the name but in reality Chelsea have to spend quite lot of money to get him and I not sure Chelsea can be willing to spend more money to get Osimhen.
Unless the exchange option is truly approved by Napoli, this will be profitable for Chelsea.
Personally, I would be much more interested if Arsenal really got Osimhen because his chances of winning the title would be more open, apart from that Arsenal also have pretty good squad for the past two seasons, staying with Napoli would be the same as hindering his own career.
Moreover, Antonio Conte also doesn't want to interfere too much in the matter of releasing Osimhen with Napoli because they already have their own agreement and Conte also can't keep him if Napoli basically aims to sell with the agreement they have.
Osimhen has release clause of 120 million euros and this could be reduced if Napoli agrees, it is clear that the decision on Osimhen future is in Napoli hands.

But on the other hand, if compare Lukaku with Osimhen, it is clear that we all know that Osimhen is far superior player and his departure and being replaced by Lukaku will never be worth it.
Yes, I agree with your sentiment bro, as it stands now, the transfer of victor osimhen is more likely to go through to arsenal than Chelsea, because Chelsea can't afford to spend a very huge amount of money like 120million euros on a single player due to the fact that financial fair play is breathing at their neck already.

He is more likely to go too arsenal, but another team that shouldn't be removed from the equation of this particular transfer saga is Paris saint Germain, they have been eyeing this particular transfer for sometime now, and the exit of Kyler mbape to real madrid made it very much likely that they might pursue this transfer and likely sign him if they have the will, so I believe that the most likely destination of victor osimhen is either arsenal or psg.

Osimhen made a wrong decision when he decided to extend his contract in Napoli for a longer time in the last season because we knew this player would like to move to another team and during the last summer I remember teams like Real Madrid and some other teams were linked to this player. Now since they have too may too much for this player, it there are fewer offers for Osimhen, but still, teams like Chelsea and Arsenal are close to signing a contract with him however I don't think if Conte will let this player move easily.
