It was reported that Romelu Lukaku agreed with Naples.

The British Football Transfer reported on the 13th (Korea time) that `Lukaku has agreed to terms with Napoli.'

Football Transfer said that `Italy's DiJargio is ready to return to Serie A with manager Antonio Conte. Lukaku has already agreed a three-year deal with Napoli and will move to Napoli if Chelsea agree to do so.'



Lukaku has completed his loan to AS Roma in the 2023-2024 season and is looking for his next destination as a member of Chelsea. Napoli, where its teacher Antonio Conte was appointed, was first mentioned as the most likely destination. Since then, AC Milan and Manchester United have been mentioned, and some predict that Lukaku may not head to Naples.

But Lukaku's choice was Napoli as well. Conte, the teacher, seems to have had a significant influence. Italy's Tutomercato explained 'Conte kept wanting Lukaku as a striker'



Conte was recently appointed as Napoli's new manager ahead of the 2024-2025 season. It is an important return for Conte. Conte, who has taken a break for more than a year since leaving Tottenham in March last year, will return to the Serie A stage where he is most familiar and famous. It is the next season that will require tactical capabilities as well as the special name to revive Napoli, which was the winning team in the 2022-2023 season.

The names of the players Conte wants to recruit were also released, and Lukaku was listed at the top. Lukaku has already achieved outstanding results with Conte. During the 2020-2021 season, when Inter Milan won the league, Lukaku was the second-leading scorer in the league and the first-leading offensive point in the league, and he was the crown prince of Conte.



Lukaku showed a consistent performance in the previous 2023-2024 season, scoring 21 goals in 47 games for AS Roma. He has enough skills to perform well in Napoli with Conte.

Chelsea, the original team, which had already been at odds with Lukaku, was also expected to be positive for sales if Napoli and Conte actively participated in recruiting Lukaku. Napoli reportedly offered a total of 36 million euros (about 54 billion won) for Lukaku's transfer fee. If Chelsea accepts the offer, Lukaku's transfer is expected to be possible immediately.

Attention is focusing on whether teachers and disciples, who have drawn attention from various teams, will be able to join forces again in Naples next season.
