Napoli set asking price for former Man Utd & Chelsea forward Lukaku

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has set a €10 million asking price for Romelu Lukaku, according to TMW, as the club look to offload the Belgian striker following his fallout with the club at the end of last season.

In the report published on TuttoMercatoWeb, it suggests the price tag represents a significant loss on the approximately €30 million Napoli paid to sign Lukaku in the summer of 2024, but his injury-ravaged campaign and the breakdown in his relationship with the club have drastically reduced his market value.

The former Manchester United and Chelsea forward managed just seven appearances and 64 minutes of football under Antonio Conte this season, contributing a single goal before a thigh injury effectively ended his campaign.

The one factor that could yet keep Lukaku in Naples is incoming coach Massimiliano Allegri, who has long admired the striker from afar and reportedly attempted to sign him from Chelsea in the past.

Any decision is likely to be deferred until after the World Cup, with Lukaku currently on international duty with Belgium.

Interested clubs have been put on notice; €10 million is the figure required to open talks.
