Romelu Lukaku, a 33-year-old Belgian forward, is getting closer to leaving Naples to become the new player of Fenerbahçe in this summer transfer market. The player has already given his approval to the operation and negotiations between clubs are progressing after the Turkish team saw their initial offer of 6 million euros rejected.

Romelu Lukaku has already accepted Fenerbahçe's proposal

The main obstacle to completing the transfer now lies between Naples and Fenerbahçe. Lukaku has reached a personal agreement with the Istanbul club, while the two entities are in discussions to reach a definitive figure.

Fenerbahçe's initial attempt, valued at 6 million euros, was turned down by Naples. The Italian club is still negotiating, and the Turkish club is preparing a new proposal to bridge the gap.

The operation has gained momentum in recent days, and there is confidence that it can be concluded within a short period. According to information published this Sunday, both parties consider it possible to reach a full agreement within the next 48 hours.

Naples negotiates Lukaku's departure

Naples had already accepted that Lukaku would leave the club during this summer. The forward has a contract with the Italian club until June 30, 2027, but his departure is part of the club's planned moves to reduce their wage bill.

The salary also affects the operation. Information from the market period estimated Lukaku's wages at around 8 million euros per year, while Naples had set a value of approximately 10 million euros to facilitate his departure.

The current scenario positions Fenerbahçe as the most advanced option for Lukaku's future. The Turkish club needs to improve on the initial 6 million euros and come closer to Naples' demands to turn the agreement with the player into a definitive transfer.

Vedat Muriqi, linked to the move

Lukaku's arrival would have direct consequences on Fenerbahçe's offensive planning, where Vedat Muriqi is also part of the debate regarding the striker position. The Kosovar is part of the team's offensive structure, and Lukaku's potential addition would create competition in that position.

Therefore, Fenerbahçe is facing an operation that still requires economic agreement with Naples. Lukaku has taken the necessary steps on a personal level, but the new Turkish offer will be crucial to definitively unlock the transfer.

The next move now belongs to Fenerbahçe, who is preparing an improved proposal following the initial rejection of 6 million euros. If the new figure satisfies Naples, Romelu Lukaku could conclude his period in Italy and become the new forward of the Istanbul team in the next 48 hours.
