The journalist further claimed that the Lukaku deal is separate from Victor Osimhen's and Chelsea will only begin talks to sign the Nigerian forward once the Belgium international's deal gets finalised. Osimhen has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge for quite some time as the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-boost-victor-osimhen-asked-leave-napoli-blues-target-loan-deal-striker/bltd92e383a2f960e7f#cs6d4041025b0aa2ce" target="_blank">attacker has informed Gli Azzurri</a> that he wants to leave the club this summer.

The West London club did not have the ideal start to the season as they went down 2-0 against reigning champions Manchester City in their Premier League opener. They will now face Servette in a Europa Conference League play-offs first leg clash.
