LUKAKU UNVEILS REASONS BEHIND TRANSFER TO NAPOLI
Lukaku declined a call-up from Belgium to play in games against Italy and France in October because he preferred to stay in Naples and continue his preparation.
“I thought staying with my team and work was best for me,” the striker told TG1. “Last season, I didn’t do any pre-season preparation, and I paid for it.”
Lukaku reunited with his ex-Inter coach Antonio Conte at the Stadio Maradona, completing a permanent transfer from Chelsea.
“It’s important. I think everyone knows my relationship with him,” Lukaku said. “He knows my past and my family, which makes a big difference.”
It’s crucial. Everyone is probably aware of my friendship with him, Lukaku remarked. “He understands my background and my family, which is really important.”
“I played in the Premier League, but Serie A really is coming back,” he noted.
Napoli are the current Serie A leaders, but Lukaku urged his teammates to keep their feet on the ground.
“We must remain calm. It’s just the beginning,” he said.
