Negotiations between Chelsea and Napoli over the proposed transfers of Romelu Lukaku and Victor Osimhen are being kept separate, Fabrizio Romano reports.
There will be no negotiations between the clubs over a swap deal, according to the report, with the Blues instead focused on securing a permanent exit for Lukaku. The Serie A side have yet to offer a transfer fee deemed suitable by Chelsea, but have agreed personal terms with the 31-year-old Belgium striker.
Chelsea's pursuit of Osimhen looks to be more complicated, however. While they remain interested in the 25-year-old Nigeria No. 9, the Premier League side's preference would be to sign him on loan, Romano added.

Osimhen's camp have shut down any suggestions of a loan deal, and they won't entertain a reduced salary to facilitate a move away from Naples either. Talks are ongoing between Chelsea and Napoli despite these substantial hurdles.
