Lukaku's future remains a significant concern for Chelsea for the third consecutive summer, as the Belgian striker has failed to establish himself at the club despite his £97.5 million ($124.9m) return to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2021, seven years after he departed the Blues.
Following two consecutive transfers to Roma and Inter Milan, the Blues seek to assign him to a permanent contract.
Il Mattino, an Italian publication (via CalcioNapoli24), has recently reported that Chelsea and Aston Villa have reached an agreement regarding the acquisition of Lukaku.
The Blues are eager to transfer the Belgian as soon as possible, as he currently earns £325,000 weekly. Nevertheless, the report indicates that the striker is not interested in a transfer to Birmingham, as he is awaiting a decision from Napoli.
Lukaku has been the subject of negotiations between Napoli and Chelsea as Antonio Conte, the new head coach of the Gli Azzurri, seeks to acquire a dependable striker. Victor Osimhen has been suggested as a potential replacement.
Nevertheless, Chelsea is experiencing a lack of forbearance with the Serie A team due to their continued postponement of the transaction.
According to reports, Chelsea sought to resolve Lukaku's future before their preseason tour of the United States. Nevertheless, they are eager to resolve the issue before the commencement of the Premier League season, which will coincide with Manchester City's visit to Stamford Bridge on August 18.
