Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is prepared to take a significant pay cut in order to secure a move to Napoli, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Belgian star, currently earning €11 million net per season at Chelsea, is willing to reduce his salary to €6 million net per season until June 2027 to facilitate the transfer.
Lukaku’s desire to reunite with Antonio Conte, who is now at the helm of Napoli, is a driving factor behind his decision.
The duo previously enjoyed a successful stint together at Inter Milan, and Lukaku is eager to work under Conte’s management once again.
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.
