Chelsea have set their sights on Napoli winger Hirving Lozano as they look to strengthen their attack.
The Mexican’s contract with the Italian side is due to expire in 2024, yet Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has strongly hinted he would like to extend his deal.
However, talks between Lozano and the front office have not yet taken place.
Reports suggest that Lozano and teammate Piotr Zielinski, who faces similar circumstances, could leave Naples this summer if the right offer should arrive.
Radio CRC journalist Raffaele Auriemma believes that Chelsea are likely going to make a move for Lozano due to manager Graham Potter’s love of pacey wingers – something which Lozano undoubtedly possesses – though it remains doubtful whether or not he will leave considering the large salary he currently earns with Napoli.
Meanwhile, rumors suggest that Napoli might use any money gained through potential sales of Lozano and/or Zielinski to acquire players Armand Laurienté and Davide Frattesi from Sassuolo – though there is uncertainty as to whether they would receive this sum all at once or in installments.
