Romelu Lukaku refusing Napoli calls, tomorrow key to future

The standoff between Romelu Lukaku and Napoli has reached a critical boiling point, with the striker reportedly refusing to answer direct calls from the club hierarchy.

According to Sky Italia, relayed by AreaNapoli, the Belgian international is currently communicating exclusively through his agent, Federico Pastorello. Despite being physically fit, Lukaku has remained in Belgium rather than returning to the Castel Volturno training center. The forward reportedly believes that staying in his homeland is the most effective way to finalize his recovery and regain peak fitness, a stance that has created a massive rift with the club.

Napoli’s patience has officially run out. The club has issued a final ultimatum: if Lukaku does not report for training tomorrow, he will be formally removed from the squad. This escalating cold war comes at a delicate time for Antonio Conte’s side, as the club prepares to take disciplinary action against their star signing for what they perceive as a blatant breach of professional conduct.
