English Premier League outfit, Chelsea are exploring the possibility of a package deal to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, which could involve offering players Romelu Lukaku and Cesare Casadei in exchange, Nigeriasoccernet.com gathers.
The Super Eagles striker who signed a new contract in December with the intention of leaving this summer, is growing frustrated due to the lack of interest from top clubs.
His €130m release clause has deterred suitors like Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea, who have instead pursued alternative targets.
According to TEAMtalk, Chelsea are in talks with Napoli to discuss player exchange options, which would help reduce the overall cost of the transfer.
This approach may appeal to Napoli, given the limited interest in Osimhen at his current price tag.
If Lukaku and Casadei were part of the deal, Chelsea would hope to pay only €60m cash for Osimhen.
