Fenerbahçe has made a second bid to Napoli, which was accepted, according to Romano. The Turkish club has beaten off competition from Major League Soccer teams to secure the signature of the 33-year-old Belgian striker. Lukaku had a personal agreement with his new club, which has been a key factor in the transfer. The transfer is expected to be officially completed soon, with Romano stating that the paperwork will be completed today. Lukaku has already passed his medical tests, which is a significant step in the transfer process.
Napoli paid more than 30 million euros to Chelsea for Lukaku's signature in the 2024 transfer summer. The sale of Lukaku means a multi-million loss for Napoli. Lukaku may have to compete with Feyenoord striker Ayase Ueda at his new Turkish club. Fenerbahçe has also made a bid for the Japanese striker, reportedly worth 20 million euros, but Ueda has expressed a desire to continue his career in the Premier League.
