Romelu Lukaku is being linked with a surprise move from Napoli to Fenerbahçe, with the probability of a deal currently rated at 38% according to transfer data.
The 32-year-old centre-forward, valued at €15.00m, is the subject of growing speculation over his future in Serie A, with reports suggesting the Süper Lig side are weighing up a move as they look to add a proven goalscorer. Napoli are listed as his current club, but with no contract expiry information available in the data, observers have noted the possibility that the Belgian international could yet edge towards free-agent status if a resolution is not found.
Lukaku, born in Antwerpen on 13 May 1993 and standing at 1.91m, has already had a nomadic career across Europe’s top leagues, playing in Belgium, England and Italy. After emerging at Anderlecht, he earned a move to Chelsea in 2011, followed by spells or loans at West Bromwich Albion, Everton, Manchester United and Inter Milan, before later stints at Roma and his current chapter at Napoli. His path back and forth between Chelsea and Serie A, including multiple loan returns, underlines a career shaped by major fees and constant movement at the elite level.
Most recently on Napoli’s books in Serie A, Lukaku’s market value has steadily declined from its €100m peak during his Manchester United and early Chelsea days to the current €15.00m, reflecting his age but also making a potential deal more accessible for Fenerbahçe. A left-footed centre-forward, he remains a physically dominant option through the middle, and his dual Belgium/DR Congo nationality has long added to his profile as one of Europe’s most recognisable strikers.
Should a move to Istanbul materialise, it would open a new chapter in a career that has already traversed several of Europe’s major clubs and leagues, and could yet redefine how his later years at the top level are remembered.
