Romelu Lukaku used to be one of the best strikers in Europe in the past and still posseses those qualities that made people consider him as one of the best. His ability to bully defenders, get past them and always cause unrest among opposing defenders are some of the reasons he's been feared. Last season he was signed on a season long loan by AS Roma and despite all his efforts, he was unable to reciprocate the same number of goal contributions he had with Inter Milan the previous season. Without trying to write off the Belgian striker, I strongly believe that he's past the peak of his career but that doesn't mean that he can't still deliver of well managed.
Chelsea have always deemed Lukaku surplus to requirement at the club in the last three seasons which is why he's been out on loan despite having a running contract with the English Premier League club. If Napoli is interested in Lukaku, the best Chelsea can do is try add Victor Osimhen to the deal so the Nigeria striker can move to the London club while Romelu Lukaku joins Napoli
Romelu Lukaku used to be at the peak of his career when he was at Inter Milan. And if I remember correctly, Inter Milan was previously coached by Conte. So I'm starting to understand why Conte now really wants Lukaku to be brought to Napoli. because Conte and Lukaku have had a relationship for a long time.
And the latest news is that Chelsea is even ready to reduce Lukaku's price if Napoli are serious about bringing in the player. And Lukaku himself is ready to be paid less if he succeeds in going to Napoli.

Maybe Lukaku won't be as good as before. But I'm sure his motivation to return to his best performance will definitely reappear when he successfully reunites with Conte.
