When will this drama come to an end? This deal shouldn't be this complicated since both teams have an interest in players. Napoli should be willing to cut down the release clause on Osimhen if they want him to move to Chelsea. And Chelsea should also consider shifting some grounds in Lukaku's release clause. Chelsea doesn't want a loan for Lukaku, they want to sell him outrightly. The transfer market window will close in less than two weeks, and both teams need to come up with something. Both players will be going through some pressure since their transfer issues have not been settled.
Antonio Conte dropped Osimhen from the pre-season, and he was not in the squad that faced Moden in the Coppa Italia. Lukaku's condition is even more complicated because he has no place in Chelsea this season. These players will keep going through this uncertain experience until their deals are settled.
Both Osimhen and Lukaku are not that welcome in their club and the situation is far worse for Lukaku than Osimhen which might get a chance to play with Napoli if there will be no transfer for him.
The problem is the market value of these two players which is completely different. For Lukaku, he is older than Osimhen, he lost a lot of, around two-thirds of his previous value since moving to Chelsea and the bad performance shown with them. We are talking about €30m worth vs €100m approximately for Osimhen which is again younger.
What both players have in common is the 1 year left for their contract to finish so we have to wait until the last days to see in a way or another a swap deal most likely between the two clubs.
