Sterling was omitted from Enzo Maresca’s roster for Chelsea’s season-opening away match against Manchester City. As a result, the winger’s entourage began to doubt Chelsea’s motives, and clubs are now on high alert over the winger’s availability for a summer transfer.

The Daily Mail reports that before to Sunday’s events, Juventus had expressed interest in Sterling’s abilities. The Bianconeri are eager to have Sterling join them in Italy so they can restore their domestic dominance.

To begin with, Juventus will need to make some transfers if they are intent on signing Sterling to play for them at the Allianz Stadium. The reported £325,000 weekly salary of the England international is too much for the Serie A club, which will have to sell players. Thiago Motta reportedly does not want Italy’s Euro 2020 star Federico Chiesa, and if he sells him, it would free up salary money for Sterling to join.

Whether or if the England international is eager to uproot his family and move to Italy at this stage of his career is an open question. No matter his decision, the transfer deadline is drawing near, therefore Juventus must act swiftly to secure a deal with Chelsea.

Napoli and Chelsea are getting closer to a Romelu Lukaku deal

The Belgian attacker Romelu Lukaku has made it clear that he wants to join Napoli, and the Italian club is drawing near to making a move for him.After making headway in negotiations with Chelsea for the striker Romelu Lukaku, Napoli have reportedly made an official proposal to acquire the player, according to Fabrizio Romano. Talks are continuing to finalize the transfer, and the Belgian has made it plain that he wants to join them exclusively; however, any potential deal including Victor Osimhen will be a separate transaction.

Romelu Lukaku’s transfer is being pursued by Napoli.After Napoli’s 3-0 loss to Hellas Verona in their Serie A debut, Antonio Conte may have been fuming. He might bemoan the team’s lack of offensive danger and perhaps pin it on the continuing drama surrounding star striker Victor Osimhen.

Napoli is unwilling to reduce their asking price, and important suitors are unwilling to pay his release clause or even close to it, leading to a major standoff between the two sides. Romelu Lukaku, a striker for Chelsea and a former Inter Milan player, was Conte’s original choice to replace the Nigerian.

So far, the main problem is that they aren’t willing to pay the exorbitant wages of those two strikers. Regardless, Napoli is now getting close to signing Romelu Lukaku after what seems like an eternity of waiting and playing the long game.

After recent progress in negotiations with Chelsea, Napoli have formally bid for the striker. After netting 21 goals for Roma on loan from Chelsea, Lukaku gained invaluable experience playing in Serie A. Stay tuned for more specifics on the offer, but it likely fall short of the Blues’ demands for the troubled striker.

Osimhen takes action following Lukaku’s moveBefore making a decision on the Osimhen saga’s conclusion, Napoli will concentrate on finalizing the Lukaku transaction. Chelsea is interested but has different valuations, so they will still require a large amount. Although Chelsea and Fabrizio Romano have both insisted that the Osimhen-Lukaku transaction will be distinct, numerous stories have suggested that the two players may be trading places.

Because of this, Napoli would prefer to make sure their plan to get a starting striker is solid before trading Osimhen. After what feels like an eternity of waiting, Conte will have pleaded with the club to take action and sign the former Inter Milan star without delay.
