Fenerbahce have announced the signing of Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku from Napoli.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, reports suggested that Lukaku had been granted permission to undergo a medical with the Turkish Super Lig giants, after the clubs agreed a fee of around \u20ac6m.<\/p>\n

Lukaku played a key role in Napoli’s Scudetto-winning campaign under Antonio Conte in 2024-25, scoring 14 goals in 38 matches that season.<\/p>\n

However, he was restricted to just seven appearances \u2013 none of which were starts \u2013 in 2025-26 due to a variety of injuries, only tallying 64 minutes in all competitions and scoring one goal.<\/p>\n

Lukaku fared well at the World Cup, though, scoring three times\u00a0and featuring in all six of Belgium’s games as they reached the quarter-finals, where they lost to eventual champions Spain.<\/p>\n

And now, he will take his talents to Istanbul, with Fenerbahce hoping to go one better than the runner-up finish they managed last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lukaku was deemed surplus to requirements by Napoli after they made Rasmus Hojlund’s loan move from Manchester United permanent earlier in the transfer window, though reports suggest Chelsea are due a cut of the fee received for their former striker.<\/p>\n

Napoli are also reportedly interested in signing Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Lukaku is the latest big-name acquisition made by Fenerbahce ahead of the new season, which they hope will bring a first appearance in the Champions League proper since 2008-09.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They have been drawn to face Lyon in the play-off round, with the first leg being staged in Turkiye next week, following Saturday’s Super Lig opener at\u00a0Genclerbirligi.<\/p>\n

Mason Greenwood, Nathan Ake, Vedat Muriqi and Sidiki Cherif are among their other signings, with their spending estimated at around \u20ac70m during the current window.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
