Romelu Lukaku says 2025 is “the worst year of my life” and adds that claims he was declared unfit by Napoli are not accurate. Ahead of his move to Turkish club Fenerbahce, he discusses a dispute involving Napoli’s assessment of his fitness and his availability.
Yahoo Sports and Football Italia both report Lukaku’s comments, including his assertion that Napoli told him he was unfit “to boycott” him, but that he says the claim “was not true.” Both outlets frame the remarks as part of the context for his transfer and his reaction to his recent period with Napoli.
While the articles largely repeat the same statements, they differ only in presentation rather than substance. Neither outlet offers a direct response from Napoli in the provided accounts. The reporting focuses on Lukaku’s characterization of the season and his denial of Napoli’s alleged stance regarding his fitness and his treatment during that time.
