Napoli have reportedly made a bid to Girona for Artem Dovbyk, but their main focus remains securing a deal for Romelu Lukaku, who is currently sidelined at Chelsea.

Under Antonio Conte, Napoli are embarking on a new chapter, aiming to rebuild after a turbulent season following their Serie A title win. Conte, who recently signed a three-year contract with Napoli, is collaborating with sporting director Giovanni Manna to shape the club’s summer transfer strategy. Their aspiration is to reunite with Lukaku, whom Conte previously coached at Inter Milan and enjoyed a successful spell together.

Chelsea’s asking price of €44 million for Lukaku poses a significant financial hurdle for Napoli. Nevertheless, the club has initiated negotiations with Girona for Dovbyk, proposing a deal worth approximately €35 million. This amount is close to Girona’s valuation of €40 million. Atletico Madrid has also shown interest in Dovbyk but has so far only tabled a €25 million offer.

Despite their pursuit of Dovbyk, Napoli’s primary objective remains securing Lukaku’s services. They are hopeful that Chelsea will reconsider their valuation of Lukaku as the summer transfer window progresses, although uncertainties remain as negotiations unfold.
