AC Milan are interested in signing Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea and have an advantage over Napoli. Milan can start the negotiation process earlier than Napoli.
According to news from Sky Sport Italia, Lukaku’s disappointing performance with the Belgian national team has not reduced interest in him. The player who plays as a striker has been on the club’s sales list since mid-2023. Lukaku will only be released permanently.
Chelsea set a price of 37.5 million pounds sterling (775 billion Rupiah) for Lukaku. This situation means that his chances of returning to Serie A have decreased significantly. Lukaku is also open to the possibility of continuing his career in the Saudi Arabian League.
But the arrival of Antonio Conte as Napoli’s new main coach changed that view. However, the opportunity for Il Partenopei to recruit Lukaku also depends on the future of Victor Osimhen, who appears to be no longer among the Blues’ targets.

This situation gives Milan time to start negotiations with the Blues management. The Rossoneri management can contact the West London club in an attempt to lower the valuation they have set for Lukaku.
The San Siro-based club are eyeing a highly experienced striker after losing Olivier Giroud to the United States. Lukaku is also keen to remain in Italy.
