‘Waiting for white smoke for medical’ – Chelsea player on verge of leaving in big development

Romelu Lukaku to Napoili is seeing big developments, with CalcioNapoli24 bringing an exclusive on Monday evening.

According to the club specific site, the parties involved are now just waiting for the green light to finalise the transfer from Chelsea.

It’s stated Lukaku and Napoli are ‘waiting for white smoke for a medical’, so they just need to hear that the striker can travel to go through his tests with the Serie A side.

After competing at Euro 2024 for Belgium, Lukaku has been on an extended holiday. The report says that during that break, he’s been working on a personalised fitness plan masterminded by Napoli.

Having worked the Lukaku before, Napoli manager Antonio Conte obviously knows he needs to make sure the player is in top shape to have his biggest impact.

There’s no indication of whether the player will be moving from Chelsea on a loan deal or a permanent transfer. Likewise, the finances of the move aren’t being shared at this stage, although CalcioNapoli24, who do have some good connections at the club, believe it’s a done deal.
