With the appointment of Conte as the new manager, it is hoped that Napoli performance next season will be better and more consistent. Napoli is absent from playing in European competitions, just like Juventus last season, it should be easier for Napoli to recover because they only focus on domestic competitions. Conte is not busy with the busy schedule of matches in European competitions, which is an opportunity that should be utilized well to compete in Serie A. Indeed, becoming a team challenging for the Scudetto will certainly not be easy, because Conte will need time to adapt in the season. his first.

Conte can at least lead Napoli to compete in the top four of the standings, and end the season there, and secure a ticket to the Champions League. Napoli needs great luck if they have the ambition to win the Scudetto next season, because the presence of Inter, Juventus and Milan will make it difficult for any team to lead the top of the standings. Expectations for Napoli have indeed improved after Conte's arrival, but Napoli efforts to recover do not only depend on Conte alone, but on the depth of the squad they have built. Rumors of Osimhen transfer are still hotly discussed, and so far Napoli have not succeeded in selling him.

The club seems prepared to sell Osimehn, but no club has made an offer for him. They want to sell Osimehn now because it is a perfect moment and they will sell him for a high price. Lukaku or someone else, all that I can say is that Conte has to bring in another striker to improve their performance because we all saw how Osimehn's absence affected their performance last season, when they were unable to win most of their games due to many injuries he had.


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.

Osimhen is one of the most talented and valuable football players. But he has major problems with injuries, and every season he comes to the fore with a health problem.
He is currently expected to leave the team, but the fee requested for him is too high. No one can be expected to pay 100 million for a football player with injury problems. If he cannot recover as soon as possible and achieve a high performance, his value will decrease considerably. He should be heading towards the top of his career but he's still having problems

Today Napoli have started holding training sessions in preparation for next season's Serie A and there are also several pre-season matches that will be played. However, this morning during the training session, it was reported that Victor Osimhen was absent due to muscle fatigue and it looks like he will miss the pre-season match. Victor Osimhen immediately received therapy so that his muscle problems would quickly heal and it is hoped that before Serie A starts he will be available at that time.

It feels like Osimhen's fate is quite unlucky and I think if conditions are like this, even if there are teams that are rumored to want to sign him, they will start to back out one by one. However, if you see him in the main squad, it looks like he is indeed included in Antonio Conte's plans and maybe it's just a matter of time before we see him next season.

I don't know what fight the management of Napoli got into with the coach who won that Seria A Scudetto League Competition, ( Luciano Spalletti ). We all know what he did with these players and he had full backing from the club and management that season. The flaws they witnessed that season wasn't from the players completely. A good coach left and the rest three to four name who came in didn't do half of what Luciano Spalletti did for Napoli.
Anyways, the management took all of the blames and responsibilities finally as they said they'll do better this season. The first offer made to get Antonio Conte wasn't accepted as he rejected the offer and kept football fans wowed about that move as we all thought he would be the next manager of Juventus or Bayern Munich.

I don't think I have a good idea of what will happen to Victor Oshime if he doesn't get a club signing him before the transfer window comes to an end. Maybe he'll be staying with the club or leaving the club on loan with an option to sign him on full terms the following season. These are just guesses and opinions up in my head.

Victor Osimhen had the opportunity to leave Napoli last summer that many clubs were very interested in him after his incredible performance of 2022/23 season that he finished as the top scorer in the Italian Serie A but decided to stay back and now that the club doesn't want to keep him again, getting a club that'll meet the financial requirements of signing him have become a big problem. It was initially reported that Paris Saint Germaine are interested in him but that report seems to be a mere rumour because we're yet to see any official statement from the French champions that suggests that they're genuinely interested in Victor Osimhen. Napoli is reported to be interested in Romelu Lukaku while Chelsea on the other hand is interested in signing a quality striker which is why I think the two clubs can just go for a swap deal that'll see both strikers move to opposite directions

After winning the title in the 2022-23 season, naturally our expectations of the Napoli team were high. But in the 2023-24 season, the Napoli team moved to tenth place in the table. None of us expected such a poor performance. This is why the Napoli management has hired an experienced coach like Conte. It is expected that Napoli will try their best to perform well in the coming season.

A number of clubs were interested in adding Osimhen to the squad. But Napoli management wants 130 million euros for Osimhen. At the moment, no club is interested in buying OSimhen for such a high amount of money. But if the Napoli management does not sell Osimhen now, they will face losses in the future.

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.

Osimhen doesn't have many options to leave Napoli, and the main reason is his high transfer fee. For now, a more realistic possibility for him is a move to Chelsea followed by an exchange for Lukaku, at least this is the only thing that is currently being discussed about Osimhen that I have seen. Spalletti may not be the best coach, but it was with him that Napoli achieved the championship and reached the peak of their form.

Actually, Lukaku is quite great player and the bad opinion about him previously occurred because of decline in performance caused by the injury he suffered, look even though he is no longer young, Lukaku can still play well if he is with the right team.
If we evaluate it with Osimhen then we can clearly find the difference, Osimhen is still quite young and if the transfer happens only for Lukaku it will never be comparable but we can see it if Chelsea doesn't just give Lukaku but two players.
Moreover, Lukaku arrival in the Napoli squad was the wish of coach Antonio Conte, he wanted to strengthen the team with the presence of Lukaku, who was previously quite great player when he was playing with AS Roma.
But if everything could be done more easily, like Antonio Conte still being able to keep Osimhen and bring in Lukaku with purchase agreement, then that would be much better.
We see how this transfer-related problem is resolved, which has had quite lot of drama, news and attempts at talks between the two team that have been going on for some time but until now there hasn't really been an official agreement.

It's true that the change of coach was what resulted to the poor performance of Napoli last season and that is why the club have brought in Conte to see how he can bring those victorious days back to the club. I feel for Osimhen that he is ready to leave Napoli but no club have shown good interest on him who knows maybe he will be lucky to have a new deal before transfer window closes.

I believe that if Osimhen is sold Lukaku will be brought to Napoli because this has being Conte plns since he took over as the manager of the club. The reason why Lukaku is not yet signed is because Osimhen is still in the club any positive news from any club that needs him.

Honestly if another team outside of Italy bought Lukaku, of course I would doubt that Lukaku would make a big contribution to that team in the future, but if Napoli or another team in Serie A bought Lukaku then I am very confident that Lukaku will have a positive effec for his arrival, you can see how Lukaku looks in Serie A which can be said to be very good even though he is old, his performance with Roma last season shows that Lukaku is still not over and he can still be a mainstay for a team like Napoli next season because no matter what lukaku is knowing the Serie A league quite well so far, keeping Osimhen and pairing him with Lukaku is actually a pretty good option for Napoli next season, but the problem now , isn't Osimhen really wanting to leave Napoli?


I don't want to say Lukaku will perform did not meet expectations considering what he has done so far at Roma, but at the moment giving a long-term contract is not the right option for Napoli if they succeed in recruiting Lukaku, but if they want to give him the opportunity to 1 or 2  seasons at Napoli, maybe Napoli can still get a big contribution from him, Apart from that, even though I'm still a pretty sharp striker, Napoli still have to have another striker who can act as a backup to anticipate lukaku absence next season.

It's not just about saying no or yes to a player like Lukaku, but more about Napoli's considerations themselves must be more logical because Napoli has a strong determination to be able to rise next season so they brought in Antonio Conte as a coach to improve all the existing players while looking and buying new players that he can be sure are good for Napoli. I also see that Lukaku is no longer like he used to be so there is a little risk that Antonio Conte must bear if he really wants to bring Lukaku to Napoli.

no simply lukaku won't be able to do well in that team, it was also seen during this championship, he wasn't able to do anything concrete and he wasn't able to do the only thing he's supposed to do, which is scoring goals, the only problem is that antonio conte wants him at all costs at napoli and he will certainly smash the dressing room which is already fragile, I don't know if he will be able to have a good championship this year but we also know that conte is a great coach so never say never

Yes, it's true that Lukaku has played for quite a long time in Serie A when he played for Intermilan and As Roma. He is also quite experienced and productive, even though his performance is declining, even Chelsea is having difficulty selling him and maybe Chelsea will lower his price again. If Napoli really wants to buy him, they have to think about it. Again, because if Napoli wants to compete with other teams in Serie A, Napoli must be able to really choose the players they choose to be included in their main squad, Conte has the opportunity to choose the right players for him to recruit.

I don't want to underestimate Lukaku's ability but no one knows whether he will play well at Napoli or not because playing at As Roma before he seemed to play well, there is nothing wrong with Conte's choice if he wants Napoli to recruit this player to add to their squad. Napoli's front line.

Most likely lukaku will perform below expectations in Napoli, I have never seen that deal as one that was ever going to be beneficial to Napoli but then the issues has been that Napoli's new coach ajs been rhe one pushing to having lukaku on his team probably he fits in his plans but very likely it will be in the short term and not the long term, so it's still comes back to not been the best choice deal for them, in as much as they want a quick result, everything shouldn't be thrown out there risking quality, lukaku isn't a terrible player but his performance is going to drop in the nearest future and this is owing to his age.

It seems like what you are saying makes much more sense than throwing away Osimhen who then brought Lukaku to Napoli because a player like Osimhen can still be relied on as the best spearhead in the team. Meanwhile, Lukaku still cannot be relied on as the best spearhead in the Napoli team, so it would be a good idea for Napoli not to throw away Osimhen for a player who is no longer young like Lukaku. But if Napoli can bring in Lukaku without throwing away Osimhen it would also be better because a team that has some of the best front line players will be much better although other players in the line also need to be considered.

It's true that Lukaku has started to decline when he defended his country at the Euros but seeing him with AS Roma he looks like a good striker, he works hard, moreover Conte has also worked with Lukaku so he knows what a good game is for him and Lukaku might really suit him strategy, because they both had beautiful moments when at Inter they managed to win the Italian Serie A for the 2021 season and so maybe they will succeed in taking advantage of that at Napoli.

Lukaku is also still very ideal in the Italian Serie A so there is no harm in Napoli bringing him to repeat his sweet togetherness with Conte, especially since Lukaku is very experienced in Serie A and Napoli really needs experienced players at the moment.

I don't think this is the best deal for Napoli. It should be known that Chelsea also values ​​Romelu Lukaku not cheaply compared to his performance and age. It's silly to sell the most sought-after striker to buy a striker who is being abandoned by clubs. Meanwhile, Napoli still has the opportunity to sell Osimhen to the Saudi Pro League. Saudi Pro League is willing to spend the amount of money that Napoli wants. The Saudi Pro League needs to reach a personal agreement with Osimhen and convince this player to leave Europe to play in Saudi Arabia. It is still unclear whether Victor Osimhen is willing to go to Saudi Arabia to play as his career is still in the developing stage. But we can be sure that Napoli also wants to sell Osimhen to make money and reinvest in the squad. And they never want to lower the price of this striker. Which European club would dare to spend that amount of money?

That's probably Chelsea and Napoli's best deal. But, there is no update on the swap's progress. I read how Conte spoke to Osimhen about his positon in the club. I think Osimhen may still stay. Conte wants to bring Lukaku to the club. But, if the deal fails, Napoli can keep Osimhen much longer. But again, The only consequence for Napoli must be to be ready. Osimhen may lose his value due to his poor performance. If i were Conte, and i'd like to swap Osimhen for Lukaku as soon as possible. Getting an experienced striker like Lukaku is far more profitable than keeping Osimhen. I don't like the decision to keep Osimhen, and there's still enough time for Napoli to change their mind for Lukaku.

Chelsea has tried to convince Napoli with Lukaku. But, the talks about how much Chelsea must pay (including Lukaku) are still ongoing. Osimhen's name is growing in Napoli. It's time for him to leave Serie A and compete with many great strikers in the EPL.
And last, I hope both of parties(Chelsea&Napoli) will complete this deal as soon as possible.
