Getty Images SportTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Lukaku became one of the cornerstones of Antonio Conte's project at Napoli, helping his team win the Scudetto in his debut campaign by scoring 14 goals in Serie A. After several underwhelming seasons, where he never stayed at one club for too long amid harsh criticism from large sections of the media, the Belgian international seems to have found a new lease of life at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
Getty Images SportWHAT NEXT FOR ROMELU LUKAKU?
The former Chelsea and Manchester United striker will be aiming to build on his performances in the 2024-25 season by helping the Partenopei defend their Serie A crown. Napoli will begin their title defence against Sassuolo on August 23.
