Journalist Carlo Alvino says Romelu Lukaku’s future at SSC Napoli looks increasingly remote, hinting at an imminent goodbye. He further suggests the striker will probably miss the upcoming training camp at Castel di Sangro, underscoring the growing distance between player and club.

Alvino frames the situation as a critical crossroads for Lukaku’s chapter at the club. He states that his stay at SSC Napoli is effectively terminated.

Speaking on the Kiss Kiss SSC Napoli platform, Alvino declared, “the story between Lukaku and SSC Napoli is already finished.” He added that recent permission extensions granted by the club simply confirm that negotiations for his sale are open.

Alvino recalled a 2024 agreement signed by SSC Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis and agent Federico Pastorello. He described it as a “gentlemen’s pact” that envisaged Lukaku’s departure after two years. He noted that the current days are intended for the agent to finalize the exit as quickly as possible.

According to Alvino, Lukaku will not travel to Castel di Sangro for the anticipated first meeting with new coach Massimiliano Allegri. He reiterated that “the story between Lukaku and SSC Napoli was beautiful, especially the first year, but it is over.” Consequently, the planned encounter with Allegri will not take place.

Alvino concluded by emphasizing the market’s unpredictability and urging supporters to await further developments. He acknowledged that while this chapter has closed, transfer dynamics may still shift at any moment.
