Chelsea confirm Lukaku’s £30m exit as Antonio Conte hails ‘unique’ star
Romelu Lukaku’s permanent Chelsea exit has been confirmed with the “unique” striker joining Antonio Conte’s Napoli in a £30m deal yesterday. The Blues have been desperate to offload the Belgium international for a long time and have finally managed to get him off the books at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea signed Lukaku for a club-record £97.5m three years ago – in what was his second stint at the club – but it didn’t work out and he was sent out on loan twice.
