Romelu Lukaku's second spell at Chelsea has come to an end as Napoli confirmed the signing of the Belgium striker on Thursday. Lukaku, who previously spent three years at Stamford Bridge, was re-signed by Chelsea in 2021 but was subsequently loaned out to Inter Milan and then Roma.
Returning to Italy, Lukaku reunites with Napoli manager Antonio Conte, with whom he enjoyed success at Inter Milan, scoring 47 goals in 72 Serie A games and winning the league title in 2020-21. However, Lukaku struggled to replicate that form at Chelsea, managing only eight Premier League goals in his first season back in England.
