Napoli have officially set a €20 million price tag on Romelu Lukaku, with AC Milan now circling the Belgian striker following a major fallout with the Serie A club.
The drama unfolded after Lukaku reportedly defied Napoli's orders by remaining in Belgium for personal injury rehab, sparking tensions with club president Aurelio De Laurentiis. Now, the Partenopei are ready to cut their losses and move on, setting a relatively modest asking price for the 31-year-old forward.
Lukaku, who previously lit up Serie A during his title-winning stint at Inter Milan, is keen to stay in Italy—but not in Naples. Instead, he's eyeing a return to Milan, where he once tormented defenses and helped the Nerazzurri lift the Scudetto. This time, however, it's the Rossoneri—AC Milan—who are showing serious interest.
Milan are on the hunt for a new striker and have cast a wide net. While Lukaku is on their radar, he's not the top priority just yet. The club is also weighing moves for Atletico Madrid's Alexander Sørloth, Juventus' Dušan Vlahović, and Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski, making this a multi-layered transfer saga.
For Lukaku, a move to Milan would offer a fresh start after a rocky spell at Chelsea and a brief, turbulent chapter at Napoli. At €20 million, he presents a high-reward, low-risk option for any club willing to take the gamble—and with Serie A's giants circling, this story is far from over.
