Romelu Lukaku determined to leave Chelsea for Serie A return
Romelu Lukaku has set his sights on leaving Chelsea this summer, determined to reunite with former boss Antonio Conte at Napoli.
The Belgian striker, who recently concluded a successful loan spell at AS Roma with 21 goals in all competitions, is eager to force a move if Chelsea fails to facilitate his transfer to the Naples club.
Lukaku’s desire to join Napoli stems from his previous successful partnership with Conte, with whom he won the Serie A title at Inter Milan. The two share a strong professional bond, and Lukaku believes that a reunion could rejuvenate his career.
Despite interest from Saudi clubs and AC Milan, Lukaku has his heart set on Napoli. The move, however, hinges on Napoli’s ability to sell their star striker Victor Osimhen.
Chelsea, aware of Lukaku’s intentions, is expected to demand a hefty transfer fee, while Napoli seeks a more economical deal.
The situation recalls last summer’s lengthy saga when Lukaku’s future hung in the balance between Juventus and Inter Milan before he eventually joined Roma.
This time, the striker appears resolute in his preference for Napoli, complicating Chelsea’s efforts to offload him elsewhere.
As Belgium exits Euro 2024, Lukaku is fully focused on resolving his club future. The coming weeks promise intense negotiations and potentially a public standoff if Chelsea doesn’t comply with his wishes.
Lukaku’s determination to join Napoli underscores his belief in Conte’s ability to bring out the best in him once more. Football fans can only wait and see if this transfer drama will culminate in another successful chapter in Lukaku’s storied career.
