Chelsea have been handed a major boost in their pursuit to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli after the Serie A side lowered their demands.
According to The Times, Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna has held talks with Chelsea officials in London, where the two parties have been negotiating a deal.
The report claimed that the Blues have been told a bid of £38.5m plus Romelu Lukaku and Cesare Casadei would be enough to persuade them to sell striker Osimhen this summer.
Napoli are trying to sign Lukaku but cannot afford the £40m asking price.
Instead, Antonio Conte’s side have proposed a complex swap deal involving the Belgium international and Casadei.
Osimhen is expected to move from Napoli this summer after he demanded to leave the club.
