Romelu Lukaku: Napoli sign Belgium striker from Chelsea for £30m

Napoli have signed Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea in a £30m deal.

Napoli’s move for Lukaku, 31, has been driven by their manager Antonio Conte, under whom the Belgian enjoyed two prolific seasons for Inter Milan from 2019 to 2021.

The striker rejoined Chelsea in 2021 for £97.5m but has spent the past two seasons on loan in Italy, first back at Inter and then with Roma.

Lukaku scored 24 league goals as he won Serie A under Conte in 2021, with his form sparking Chelsea’s decision to recruit him.

Disposing of Lukaku – who has not played for Chelsea since May 2022 – gets his £350,000-a-week wages off the books.

Lukaku’s departure comes as Chelsea midfielder Tino Anjorin also moves to Italy’s Serie A, joining Empoli on a three-year deal.
