Napoli have announced the permanent signing of Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku. The Serie A club said on their official website that “Napoli formalizes the permanent purchase of Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea” but have not disclosed the length of his contract, nor the fee paid to the Londoners. It has been reported that the 31-year-old has signed a three-year deal for a fee of around £30 million ($39.5 million) to be reunited with Napoli manager Antonio Conte, who he played under at Inter Milan when they won the Italian title in 2021. “Antonio Conte is the coach with whom Romelu Lukaku has scored the most goals in the top five European leagues: 47 goals in 72 appearances, on average one goal scored every 125 minutes played,” Napoli said.
