The Belgian has struggled for rhythm during the current campaign, making just seven appearances and playing little over an hour of football in total due to recurring hamstring and muscular problems. His lack of availability has limited his impact and is understood to have influenced Napoli’s decision to move in a different direction.
That strategy shift has already taken shape with the club securing Rasmus Højlund on a permanent deal, signalling a clear long-term change in their forward line. With just over 12 months remaining on his contract, Lukaku is now among the players who could be sacrificed as part of that transition.
