Chelsea has accepted an offer from Napoli for striker Romelu Lukaku, after months of negotiations between the two parties, causing the Belgian striker to return to Italy.
According to transfer experts Matteo Moretto and Fabrizio Romano, Napoli have reportedly agreed to pay Chelsea a fee of €30 million plus up to €15 million in bonuses for the former Roma and Inter striker.
Gianluca Di Marzio and Sky Sport Italia report that the deal is for €30 million plus a 30% sell-on clause with no additional bonuses.
The deal came after Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna met with Chelsea directors on Friday, for the second time this week. For the first time, on Friday, Napoli showed willingness to increase their offer beyond the €30 million limit.
Lukaku had agreed personal terms with Antonio Conte’s side a few weeks ago. He will now sign a three-year contract with the Napoli club, which will run until the summer of 2027.
Napoli will be the third Serie A club Lukaku has represented in his career so far, following spells with Inter and Roma last season, where he scored 21 goals from 47 appearances in all competitions.
