After the break for the national teams in March, Lukaku did not show up at Castel Volturno for the resumption of training with Conte’s team, and was left out of the squad. The reason? Stay in Belgium to get treatment and aim for the World Cup. In the interview with the Belgian media, Romelu explained his version: “Two weeks before the international break he felt something wasn’t right. An MRI then revealed a muscle overload. I called the management to say that I would return as soon as things normalized”, he explained, claiming the correctness of his behaviour. The problem, according to him, was elsewhere: “The whole affair was amplified by the media.”

On his relationship with the club and with Conte, the center forward was clear: “As far as my relationship with Napoli is concerned, everything is calm now. There is no problem. Everyone understands why I did what I did, I also spoke with the coach”. All solved, then. The Belgian still has one year left on his contract and intends to respect it. However, there is a window open to the future, and Lukaku didn’t want to close it completely. That view of Brussels, Anderlecht side, the club where it all began and which will always remain in the heart: “One day I will return home because it is where I want to stay with my family, but not this summer”. For now, Naples comes before everything else.
