“Cut my salary to half” “Let me leave Chelsea” – Chelsea star tells Enzo Maresca he wants Chelsea exit in coming days
Romelu Lukaku, a striker for Chelsea, is willing to take a large wage cut to get a move to Napoli, according to Fabrizio Romano.
In order to ease the transfer, the Belgian player, who presently makes €11 million net per season at Chelsea, is willing to lower his pay to €6 million net each season through June 2027.
One of Lukaku’s main motivations for leaving Napoli was his wish to work with Antonio Conte again.
Lukaku is excited to work under Conte’s direction once more after the two had a fruitful time working together at Inter Milan.
However, the deal is contingent on ongoing negotiations between Napoli and Chelsea.
A critical factor influencing the potential transfer is the future of Napoli’s current star striker, Victor Osimhen.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have shown strong interest in Osimhen, and his departure could pave the way for Lukaku’s arrival.
As talks continue, all parties are keen to reach an agreement that satisfies both clubs and the players involved.
Lukaku’s willingness to adjust his salary demonstrates his commitment to making the move happen and reigniting his career under Conte’s guidance at Napoli.
