Romelu Lukaku Starts New Chapter As Napoli Complete Signing
Romelu Lukaku has embarked on a new journey, leaving Chelsea for Napoli in a deal worth up to €45m. The Belgian striker's three-year contract reunites him with Antonio Conte, his former Inter Milan manager, under whom he thrived from 2019 to 2021.
Lukaku's Chelsea stint was marked by inconsistency, with just 44 appearances and 15 goals. However, his loan spells in Italy, scoring 21 times in 47 games, showcased his potential.
Napoli, eager to bounce back from a disappointing 10th place finish, sees Lukaku's arrival as a key move to bolster their attack. With Conte at the helm, the 2022/23 Serie A champions aim to revive their former glory.
The transfer deal benefits Chelsea, remove Lukaku's £325,000-a-week wages from their books. Napoli will pay an initial €30m, with potential bonuses of €15m.
Lukaku may debut against Parma on Saturday, as Napoli looks to kickstart their season with a bang. Meanwhile, Chelsea midfielder Tino Anjorin joins Empoli on a three-year deal, and the Blues are in talks with Al-Ahli to sign Victor Osimhen, which could offset Napoli's spending on Lukaku.
A new chapter unfolds for Lukaku, and Napoli fans eagerly await his impact on the pitch.
