Chelsea has barred Romelu Lukaku, Trevor Chalobah, and Armando Broja from using its first-team facilities as they are anticipated to leave the club, according to the Telegraph.
Lukaku, who last featured for Chelsea in 2021, is a target for Napoli’s coach Antonio Conte, who has expressed strong interest in the Belgian forward. Lukaku has previously spent time on loan in Serie A with Inter Milan and AS Roma.
Chalobah and Broja had limited roles last season, with Broja even being loaned out to Fulham, indicating that he was deemed surplus to requirements.

Football journalist sharing the development on social media wrote, “Trevoh Chalobah and Armando Broja now barred by Chelsea from using first team’s facilities at Cobham, same as Lukaku!
“Broja, Chalobah and Lukaku will train with the U21s until they agree with a new club.
“Romel Lukaku, expected to join Napoli on a three-year contract soon… talks ongoing for Chalobah and Broja.
“Chelsea want around £30m fee for Chalobah as he’s already been left out of pre-season tour this summer.”
Chelsea will kick off their 2024/25 season against Manchester City next Sunday.
