Romelu Lukaku says yes! Belgian striker open to AC Milan move from Chelsea despite hope of reuniting with Antonio Conte at Napoli

According to <a href="https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Calciomercato/Milan/26-06-2024/il-milan-chiama-lukaku-il-chelsea-potrebbe-venderlo-per-30-milioni.shtml?refresh_ce" target="_blank">Gazzetta</a>, after dropping out of the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/manchester-united-joshua-zirkzee-boost-red-devils-close-in-bologna-strikes-ac-milan-pull-out/blt46f660023439fdbb" target="_blank">race to sign Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna</a>, Milan have shifted their focus to Lukaku. While formal negotiations are yet to commence, Milan's interest in the Belgian striker is serious. According to the report, Lukaku finds the prospect of joining Milan intriguing and is open to the move.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Napoli, under the management of Antonio Conte, are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/napoli-bid-romelu-lukaku-chelsea-asking-price/bltdc94540bd61b812a" target="_blank">also in the race to secure Lukaku's services. </a>Conte, who previously worked with Lukaku at Inter, is keen on reuniting with the striker. Napoli see Lukaku as a key addition to their squad as they aim to strengthen their attacking options. The club are exploring various avenues to bring Lukaku on board, including potential negotiations with Chelsea over a transfer fee.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Chelsea, for their part, are not open to another loan move for Lukaku. The club would prefer a permanent transfer, ideally securing a fee in the region of £38 million ($48m). However, given the complexities of the transfer market, Milan and Napoli might wait until late August to see if Chelsea become more flexible, potentially opening the door to a loan deal.
