Napoli are reportedly looking at a number of Chelsea players in their quest to replace one of their top players this summer.
It has been claimed that Victor Osimhen is going to be on the move this summer, however the Serie A side are finding it difficult to move him on for the fee they wanted.
Chelsea were one of the sides who over the last 12 months who were reportedly really keen on bringing him in, however that interest seems to have cooled in recent weeks.
It looks as if a new striker coming in is waiting on them making a sale in the same position, with there still a desire to move on Romelu Lukaku.
They are running into a problem in finding a permanent suitor for him, however he is one of two players who Napoli are considering to bring in to replace Osimhen.
Napoli considering Armando Broja to replace Osimhen
According to agent Serxiho Mezi, the Serie A side are also looking at Armando Broja as an option to replace the striker this summer too.
He told 1 Football Club (via TuttoJuve): “Osimhen? There is no margin for him to remain at Napoli. Work has been underway for some time to replace him and the two names on the list are Broja, for whom the Azzurri are the main interested parties in Italy, the only problem could be Napoli’s failure to participate in the Champions League; the other name is Lukaku.”
New Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is reportedly wanting a new striker to come in because he does not want to start the season with just Nicolas Jackson as an option in that position.
This hints that he has no intention at this stage of working with Broja, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Fulham.
The fact that minutes were hard to come by there though suggests that a future at the club he grew up with is looking pretty bleak at this stage.
