According to Fanatik, Romelu Lukaku is the primary target for Fenerbahçe in the upcoming transfer window. Lukaku had a crisis with Napoli after refusing to return to the club on March 26, which led to his exclusion from the squad. He recently met with the Napoli management and it was agreed he would continue training in Antwerp until May 24 in exchange for paying a financial penalty. Both parties agreed that Lukaku, who is entering the final year of his contract, will be sold this summer. Napoli is prepared to sell the player for a fee significantly lower than the approximately 30.7 million Euro they paid in 2024, and his annual cost, including taxes, is 12 million Euro. Fenerbahçe will begin official talks before the end of the season and aims to use its good relationship with Napoli, established through previous transfers of Elif Elmas and Kim min-jae.
