Chelsea is set for a significant reshuffle in their attacking lineup this summer, with strikers Romelu Lukaku and Armando Broja expected to depart the Premier League club.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano disclosed this development on Thursday night via his official X handle (formerly Twitter) account.
He said:
“Chelsea will sign new striker this summer as part of next season plans but no negotiations or talks taking place for Victor Osimhen, with or without Lukaku in the deal.
“#CFC are not planning to go for Osimhen as of now.
“Lukaku and Broja, expected to leave.”
