Reports from Italian publication, Il Mattino, confirm that Chelsea have finalized a deal with Aston Villa for Romelu Lukaku’s transfer.
Lukaku, who has attracted interest from Napoli, is on track to depart Stamford Bridge on a permanent basis this summer.
After spending the past two seasons on loan at Inter Milan and Roma, Lukaku’s future seems destined for a move to Villa.
Despite Napoli’s delay in moving Victor Osimhen, Chelsea have swiftly negotiated a deal with Aston Villa for Lukaku’s services.
The final decision now lies with Lukaku, who must choose between joining Unai Emery’s squad or pursuing a return to Serie A.
Chelsea aim to finalize Lukaku’s departure before their upcoming Premier League clash against Manchester City on August 18.
