Napoli has signed Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea for €30 million, bringing an end to the Belgian striker’s uncertain period with the Blues. Napoli’s owner, Aurelio De Laurentiis, confirmed the three-year contract on social media, welcoming Lukaku to the team. This move keeps Lukaku in Italy, marking his third Serie A club in three years after loan spells at Inter Milan and Roma.
Lukaku, once a hero at Inter Milan for leading them to a Serie A title under Antonio Conte, struggled after returning to Chelsea. He faced challenges during loan spells, including injuries and a failed move to Inter. Now, reunited with Conte at Napoli, Lukaku has a chance to revive his career.
Lukaku is expected to help Napoli bounce back from a disappointing season, where they finished 10th. He could make his debut in Napoli’s upcoming match against Parma as part of the team’s rebuilding process.
