Nothing is going well between Romelu Lukaku and Napoli. While the Belgian striker was supposed to take advantage of his time in the selection to get back on his feet after an injury which kept him away from the field for months, the latter decided to extend his stay in Belgium to treat his physical problems. A choice that goes very badly on the side of Naples where the club has never validated this “Ă  la carte” program and requires that its scorer immediately returns to Campania.

The atmosphere is now frosty and the club is preparing to take drastic action. Beyond imagined financial fines, it is Lukaku’s sporting future that is at stake. As explained Sky Italiaif he does not show up in training this Tuesday, he could simply be put in the closet. It remains to be seen who will have the last word in this standoff.
