Lukaku set for Napoli exit after 2026 World Cup amid disciplinary tension
Napoli striker Romelu Lukaku is expected to leave the Serie A club after the 2026 FIFA World Cup, according to football transfer expert Nicolò Schira.
Schira disclosed this on Sunday via a post on X, adding that Napoli have already placed a €10 million valuation on the Belgian forward.
The former Chelsea and Manchester United striker’s contract with the Italian club runs until 2027, but the club is reportedly open to a sale as interest begins to build.
“Napoli have already asked for €10m to sell Lukaku,” Schira noted, adding that clubs from Turkey and Saudi Arabia have shown interest in the forward.
The development comes amid reported tensions between Lukaku and Napoli manager Antonio Conte, who recently expressed disappointment over the player’s attitude.
Lukaku is also reportedly facing disciplinary action after skipping a training session weeks ago, a situation that has further strained his standing at the club.
Despite the off-field issues, the 31-year-old striker remains a key figure in Napoli’s attack, but his long-term future now appears uncertain as the club prepares for possible offers ahead of the next transfer window.
