Chelsea are finally set to sell Romelu Lukaku this summer after Napoli make progress to sign the Belgian striker.
The Blues have made up their mind about Lukaku and his future lies away from Stamford Bridge.
The striker is not in manager Enzo Maresca’s plans at the club and the Blues are ready to cash in on him.
After spending time away from the club on loan moves to Inter Milan and Roma, he is now heading back to the Serie A once again.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Napoli are getting closer to complete the signing of the Chelsea striker after tabling an official bid for the player.

Chelsea are set to accept a massive loss on their heavy investment in Lukaku.
They are waiting for the transfer to get completed so that they can focus on signing a new striker at the club.
Romelu Lukaku is set to be sold by Chelsea.
The Premier League giants are eyeing a move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
The deal for Lukaku will have no effect on the move for Osimhen as mentioned by Romano.
Both the moves will be dealt separately by the clubs as Napoli work towards finding a solution for Osimhen who wants a new challenge in his career.
Chelsea should step up their efforts to sign Victor Osimhen
If Chelsea can manage to sign Osimhen, they would be more than happy with their transfer business as they will get one of the best strikers in world football.
Lukaku would get reunited with the manager he wants to play under; Antonio Conte while Osimhen will get the away move he wants.
If both the clubs can strike a deal for their respective attackers, it would work in favour of all the parties involved.
