Romelu Lukaku might be set for a move back to the Premier League this summer. Napoli is reportedly open to selling the striker as they look to reconfigure their attacking lineup for the next season.
The Belgian international has found it difficult to maintain consistent form this season, featuring in only seven matches and playing just over an hour of football due to persistent hamstring and muscular issues. His limited availability is understood to have influenced Napoli’s decision to seek a new direction upfront.
This strategic shift is already evident with the club’s permanent signing of Rasmus Højlund, signaling a clear long-term plan for their forward line. With less than 12 months left on his contract, Lukaku is now among the players who could be moved on as part of this transition.
Initial inquiries have been made within Serie A, including tentative approaches to AC Milan and Inter Milan. However, neither club has shown significant commitment to pursuing a deal at this time. While Lukaku’s preference is to stay in Italy, the absence of concrete interest has led his representatives to explore other possibilities.
According to reports, a return to England has now emerged as a viable option.
Lukaku has a substantial history in the Premier League, having previously represented Chelsea, Manchester United, Everton, and West Bromwich Albion. His last stint in the English top flight was in 2022.
Intermediaries are actively reaching out to several English clubs to assess their interest as Lukaku considers his next career move. Napoli is believed to be prepared to accept an offer in the vicinity of €20 million. However, any transfer will ultimately depend on his fitness levels and the overall financial aspects of the deal.
