Lukaku will play again under the orders of Antonio Conte

The belgian striker agreed with Napoli will pay to Chelsea the amount of 45 million euros. Sign contract for 3 years.

Romelu Lukaku in his stage with Inter Milan and now come back in Italy for play in Nápoli.

One of this year's summer soap operas has come to an end. Romelu Lukaku will move permanently to the Italian South and more specifically to Napoli, where he will again be put under the guidance of Antonio Conte and play under Conte's orders again.


So the international Belgian forward who could not establish himself at Chelsea (he went here and there on loan) will now wear the shirt of the third Italian club in his career.


Lukaku has played for Inter and Roma (the latter on loan from Chelsea last year) and will now again find Conte in front of him, with whom he has produced the best football of his career so far during their time together at Inter.


The negotiations between the manager of Napoli, Giovanni Mana and the agents of the English team were extremely tough. Mana was instructed to try and get the footballer on loan, but Chelsea were adamant. "If you only want to get Lukaku on a normal transfer"

So even after Conte wanted him, the partenopei changed their attitude and did their best to pay as little money as possible. Of course, the fact that Lukaku's performance in recent years was not at high standards also played a role in this, so his market value had also decreased.


Finally the two sides agreed and Napoli will pay Chelsea the amount of 45 million euros which will not be in one installment, but 45 million euros immediately and another 15 million euros in bonuses depending on his appearances and the goals he scores. it will succeed. Lukaku will sign a 3-year contract.


Here it is worth remembering that Chelsea had paid 3 years ago to Inter to acquire him the amount of 113 million euros! But his performance was not up to par…


With this new move, the 31-year-old striker now moves closer to Brazil's Neymar as the most spent transfer fee. The Brazilian collects around 400 million euros, while the Belgian four now reaches 370, and could eventually reach 385.
