Lukaku Alleges Napoli Tried to Damage His Reputation After Injury Setback

1 / 2

Romelu Lukaku has accused Napoli of spreading false claims about his fitness and attempting to damage his reputation before his move to Fenerbahce. The Belgian forward said the 2025–26 season was the most difficult of his career after a thigh injury in pre-season restricted him to seven appearances and one goal. He insists he was fully fit despite reports suggesting otherwise. Lukaku said he decided to leave after learning that decisions were being made about his future. His remarks have drawn comparisons with Victor Osimhen’s strained exit from Napoli before the Nigerian striker joined Galatasaray.
