Napoli want €10m for Lukaku amid Besiktas and Fenerbahce interest | OneFootball

Romelu Lukaku appears to be nearing the end of his time at Napoli, with the club open to cashing in this summer.

According to transfer journalist Nicolò Schira, via IlNapolista, Turkish pair Fenerbahce and Besiktas have shown interest in the Belgian striker, and Napoli are asking for €10 million to let him go.

The former Inter and Chelsea forward, who earns €8 million net per season and is under contract until June 2027, no longer figures prominently in the club’s plans after a season that fell below expectations.

The €10m asking price roughly matches his book value, meaning a permanent sale would not register as a capital loss, an appealing prospect for a club looking to raise funds and ease its wage bill.

Allegri’s arrival reshapes the Napoli attack as Lukaku heads for exit

The move comes amid a wider overhaul of Napoli’s forward line.

With Massimiliano Allegri now in the dugout, the entire attacking department is under review, and the club’s marquee, highly paid names have come under particular scrutiny. Offloading Lukaku would free up a significant salary and allow Napoli to reinvest in a profile better suited to the new coach’s ideas.

The sticking point, as ever, is that €8m wage, a hefty figure that narrows the field of clubs able to accommodate him, though Turkish sides have traditionally been able to shoulder such salaries.

For all his underwhelming campaign, which was of course marred by injury, Lukaku had shown he can still make an impact, particularly as an option from the bench, so this is a departure driven more by squad economics and tactical fit than any collapse in his value.
