Napoli is considering buying Lukaku for a reason, and this is what Conte wanted from the club now. I fully support this decision because Napoli was too centralized on Osimhen. They must have also have another striker, who has the same quality as Osimhen. Look at when Osimhen got injured last season. It made Napoli struggle because they had no secondary striker as good as him.
The decision to approach Lukaku from Chelsea is the best one. I remind you Lukaku played for Inter Milan and Roma for two seasons. His performance was still very consistent. Napoli can have two strikers if they were not keen on selling Osimhen to Chelsea. It totally depends on Napoli's choice. The best if you're also seeing it from what happened to Napoli last season.
Napoli wants to recruit Lukaku so that if Osimehn leaves the club, they will have another striker to replace him in the position, its a wonderful idea but Napoli should know that signing Lukaku would not help them win a trophy next season, Lukaku striking ability will be lower to the level of Osimehn due to their age difference. Lukaku has played for many Seria A clubs, so he understands the league, but this is not a guarantee that his contributions will help Napoli win the title. For several weeks, everyone has been saying that Osimehn should leave the club, but we have yet to see a club request for him. In my opinion, Osimehn will stay in the club due to his current price, however, even if Osimehn stays, I believe the club should look for another striker who can replace him whenever he is unable to play, to avoid poor performance they had last season.
Regarding Lukaku even though he has a lot of trips in the Serie A Club but in view of his performance decreasing from season to season, he does not have the ability to boost a team that is not solid, most of his games are also not so fast and not as sharp as in his prime, the consequences in using Lukaku may exist if you really want to recruit him to replace Osimhen's position, and yes he is currently at Osimhen's level as an attacker.
In the short term, Lukaku is still worthy of being Osimhen's replacement, but in the long term, Lukaku will decline further because he is getting older, which will cause a decrease in productivity.
I don't know what makes Conte think so strongly about Lukaku, but for fans, Osimhen is the best choice to get better performance in the long term.
I have a little confidence that it is very likely that if Osimhen will be replaced by Lukaku, Conte will definitely make quick changes to the club's performance, but I am sure that the new coach will also have an alternative to replace Lukaku in the future.
Because it is impossible for professional coaches to choose older players over young players.
I hope that this time Osimhen will join a club that can provide more guarantees in the future because he still has a very long way to go.
