This is a story revealed by the Italian press and which risks generating a lot of ink. Selected by Belgium, Romelu Lukaku has not yet recovered 100% from his injury and will not be able to play his team’s two matches in the United States. While Naples was waiting for him, he did not want to return and preferred to stay in Brussels with his family. According to the Gazzetta Dello Sporthe refuses to return to his club to limit long plane flights and preserve his body in order to arrive in good shape at the 2026 World Cup.
However, Napoli had asked Lukaku to return to the training center to coordinate his convalescence and resolve a physical problem that had arisen in recent weeks during his rehabilitation. But Lukaku therefore decided to break the agreement with the Italian club. An attitude that infuriates the Italian club. Naples, which is remaining silent for the moment, could communicate publicly in the coming days to shake things up.
