Despite his limited playing time in Germany, the 22-year-old was a shining figure for England’s campaign—a campaign that ended in a loss in Sunday’s final against Spain in Berlin.

In the semi-final match against the Netherlands, the Chelsea star came off the bench and set up Ollie Watkins for the game-winning goal in the 88th minute.

In the final, he made another substitute appearance and scored a fantastic second-half equalizer for England, but they lost to Spain, 2-1.After joining from Manchester City last summer, the striker was a sensational acquisition, scoring 25 goals overall and 22 in the Premier League.

With new manager Enzo Maresca at the helm, Chelsea will have a jam-packed preseason schedule.

Before facing Inter Milan in England, the Blues will go to the United States to play Wrexham, Celtic, Club America, Manchester City, and Real Madrid.

On August 18, players will face Manchester City at Stamford Bridge to kick off the Premier League season.

 

Negotiations between Osimhen and PSG heat up as Lukaku awaits Napoli’s decision

Since Chelsea forward Romelu Lukaku is just waiting for Antonio Conte to make a decision, Napoli are growing more and more certain that the agent representing Victor Osimhen will convince PSG to pay more than €100 million.

The Belgium international’s desire to play at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona this summer and reconcile with the former Inter boss is well-known.

Meanwhile, Napoli can’t move until Chelsea sells Osimhen, and they won’t let him go for less than €35 million.

After Osimhen joins PSG, Lukaku joins NapoliAgent Roberto Calenda is reportedly in Paris for fruitful face-to-face negotiations with PSG, as reported by Sport Mediaset earlier today.

Despite not meeting the €130 million release clause, Paris Saint-Germain reportedly is willing to pay little over €100 million—a necessary loss given the absence of alternatives.

Premier League clubs were expected to rush to activate the provision after Osimhen’s December 2023 contract signing, but they all went elsewhere for players.

After PSG purchases the Nigerian, Napoli will have the opportunity to acquire Romelu Lukaku, the only striker that Conte desired.
