Romelu Lukaku could be heading for a return to the Premier League this summer, with Napoli open to selling the striker as they reshape their attack ahead of next season.<\/p>\n

The Belgian has struggled for rhythm during the current campaign, making just seven appearances and playing little over an hour of football in total due to recurring hamstring and muscular problems. His lack of availability has limited his impact and is understood to have influenced Napoli\u2019s decision to move in a different direction.<\/p>\n

That strategy shift has already taken shape with the club securing Rasmus H\u00f8jlund on a permanent deal, signalling a clear long-term change in their forward line. With just over 12 months remaining on his contract, Lukaku is now among the players who could be sacrificed as part of that transition.<\/p>\n

Milan & Inter like Lukaku as Premier League return touted<\/h2>\n

Initial checks have been made within Serie A, including tentative approaches to AC Milan and Inter Milan, but neither club is currently showing strong intent to pursue a deal. While Lukaku would prefer to remain in Italy, the lack of concrete interest has prompted his camp to explore alternative options.<\/p>\n

According to TeamTalk, a return to England is now a realistic possibility.<\/p>\n

Lukaku has extensive Premier League experience, having previously played for Chelsea, Manchester United, Everton and West Bromwich Albion, with his last spell coming in 2022.<\/p>\n

Intermediaries are already making contact with several English clubs to gauge interest, as Lukaku weighs up his next move. Napoli are believed to be willing to accept a fee in the region of \u20ac20m, though any deal will depend on his fitness and the overall financial structure of the transfer.<\/p>\n
