On 24 December, the 17th round of Serie A played a key match, with Roma playing Napoli at home. It was a hot game, with Roma players receiving a total of 7 yellow cards, Napoli 4 yellows, and 2 red cards, with Politano and Osimhen leaving the pitch with red cards. With Manuel Pellegrini and Romelu Lukaku scoring in the second half, Napoli lost 2-0.
After all the matches in this round, Roma has 28 points and ranks 6th in Serie A, and Roma has also been 6th in the previous two seasons. Napoli are the reigning Serie A champions and have dropped to 7th place in Serie A with 27 points this season. A 0-2 inspection for Chelsea!110 million center forward is high and incompetent, not as good as Lukaku, don't be fooled.
Compared to last season, Napoli has slipped at a straight line this season. According to a report from British media outlet FootballTransfers, Arsenal have withdrawn from the race for Napoli's Osimhen and Chelsea are still pursuing the Nigerian centre-forward. Since Boehly took over Chelsea, Chelsea have signed too many high transfer fees, but limited players, such as Enzo, Caicedo, Fofana, Mudryk, if they spend a lot of money to bring in Osimhen, it is estimated that Chelsea will become a big wrongdoer.
Osimhende turned around for 110 million euros, and after renewing his contract with Napoli, British media revealed that Osimhen's release fee was 130 million euros to 140 million euros. In other words, if Chelsea wants to buy Osimhen, the transfer fee will inevitably exceed 100 million. But is Osimhen worth that much money? He's an overrated player.
Chelsea have already been fooled in a deal for Romelu Lukaku, who helped the team win the Serie A title at Inter Milan, and he won the Serie A MVP behind Cristiano Ronaldo to win the Serie A Silver Boot, while Osimhen won the Serie A title and the Serie A Golden Boot last season. The key is that Lukaku has performed well in West Bromwich Albion, Everton, and Roma, and has 27 goals and 9 assists in a single season at Manchester United, 34 goals and 6 assists and 30 goals and 11 assists in a single season at Inter, and he is also the all-time scorer of the Belgian national team.
Why is Lukaku known as a little monster? It's because he became famous at a young age, and he has already made a name for himself. As for Osimhen, except for last season's 31 goals and four assists, the rest of the season's top five league performances have scored a maximum of 18 goals. In terms of ability, Lukaku has a strong ability to split the ball with his back, but he can be on the side, while Osimhen is not as comprehensive as Lukaku, and he has very few touches per game.
Overall, Romelu Lukaku is the stronger player, Osimhen is on fire for a while, and his performance has slipped this season. Rather than buying Osimhen, Chelsea should be right with Romelu Lukaku. What do you think?
