Romelu Lukaku has resolved recent misunderstandings with Napoli after holding clear-the-air talks at the club's Castel Volturno training base. The 32-year-old striker met with club leadership to address his decision to remain in Belgium for injury treatment without prior notification. The discussions took place in a constructive atmosphere, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.
Both parties reached an agreement that allows Lukaku to return to Belgium today. He will complete the final phase of his rehabilitation for a hip issue under the supervision of the club's medical staff. Previous reports from La Repubblica suggested the forward faced potential suspension or exclusion from the squad, but these concerns have now faded.
Lukaku joined the Italian side from Chelsea in 2024 for a reported fee of £25.5m. He has struggled with fitness this term, appearing for just 64 minutes since January following a serious hamstring injury. The Belgian international remains under contract with the Serie A club until 2027, per Tribuna.
