La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that there is genuine interest in Romelu Lukaku from Belgium and that Anderlecht is willing to have him. Napoli's president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, does not intend to pursue contract termination and prefers a sale that provides financial compensation.

According to Het Laatste Nieuws, Romelu Lukaku will not return to Naples on Tuesday unless there is a significant change in circumstances, which opposes an ultimatum allegedly given to him by his employer. His entourage denies this ultimatum and refuses to comment further. The main reason for Lukaku's actions is reported to be a new injury, specifically inflammation and fluid in his hip flexor, which was discovered after additional examinations by the football association. Napoli, especially president Aurelio De Laurentiis, is reportedly displeased that Lukaku decided to continue his rehabilitation in Belgium independently. Het Nieuwsblad notes that Lukaku's choice to stay in Belgium may be influenced by not wanting to be pressured to return. Napoli would reportedly prefer for Lukaku to leave a year before his contract expires, particularly because he is a high earner. Anderlecht could potentially benefit from the situation, especially if Napoli lowers his market value by encouraging his departure. However, a return is considered premature, primarily for financial reasons.

A report from Voetbalnieuws.be states that Anderlecht wants to bring Romelu Lukaku back. The report also indicates that Anderlecht is not the sole party with an interest in Lukaku, noting that Saudi Arabia and the United States are also interested.

There is speculation that Anderlecht could use the situation between Napoli and Romelu Lukaku to bring the player back to the club. La Dernière Heure also mentions similar rumors, but they have not yet become concrete.

Lukaku's own entourage denies that a quick return is imminent.

According to Nicolo Schira, Romelu Lukaku and Napoli do not have a good relationship. The report suggests Lukaku seems ready to leave after the World Cup, and that Anderlecht are interested in the player.

Antonello Perillo wrote on X that he finds it extremely unlikely Romelu Lukaku would leave Napoli at the end of the season to return to Anderlecht, amid rumours in local Neapolitan media. Lukaku has a contract with Napoli until 2027 worth €7.7 million per year, while at Anderlecht, Thorgan Hazard is the best-paid player with €1.6 million. Perillo questioned whether Lukaku would give up €6 million gross to return to Anderlecht, stating that although everything is possible, it seems far-fetched. He also stated that Lukaku's purchase of a villa near Anderlecht is irrelevant and is a normal action for a Belgian investing in property in his own country with possible future intentions to live there.

According to Voetbalkrant, one of the possibilities for Romelu Lukaku's future is a return to Anderlecht, the club where he grew up and to which he remains very attached.

These are reported as indications that add to speculation about Lukaku's future.
