Romelu Lukaku completes permanent Napoli transfer from Chelsea

Title: Romelu Lukaku Joins Napoli from Chelsea in Permanent Transfer

Romelu Lukaku has officially completed his permanent transfer from Chelsea to Napoli for an initial fee of £30 million (€35.2m). The 31-year-old Belgian striker is set to make his debut for the Italian club during their Serie A match against Parma on Saturday. This move reunites Lukaku with new head coach Antonio Conte, under whom he enjoyed a highly productive period at Inter Milan, scoring 34 and 30 goals in the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons respectively. The former Chelsea player had been training away from the first-team squad at Stamford Bridge and was not part of the pre-season tour to the United States. Lukaku, who played all four games for Belgium at Euro 2024 without scoring, has joined Napoli in a bid to regain his best form and help them achieve success under Conte's leadership.
