The conflict between Romelu Lukaku and Napoli has reached a critical point, with reports indicating that the striker is refusing to respond to calls from the club’s management.
As reported by Sky Italia and shared by AreaNapoli, the Belgian forward is currently communicating solely through his agent, Federico Pastorello. Despite being in good physical shape, Lukaku has chosen to remain in Belgium instead of returning to the Castel Volturno training facility. He reportedly believes that staying in his home country is the best way to maximize his recovery and achieve peak fitness, a position that has significantly strained his relationship with the club.

Napoli’s patience has officially worn thin. The club has issued a final ultimatum: if Lukaku fails to show up for training tomorrow, he will be formally excluded from the squad. This escalating standoff comes at a sensitive moment for Antonio Conte’s team, as the club prepares to take disciplinary measures against their star player for what they view as a serious violation of professional conduct.
