The 32-year-old player has spent recent weeks in Belgium under the supervision of specialists due to a thigh injury. This situation had caused a disagreement with management as he left the club's training base.
According to the new agreement, Lukaku will continue his recovery process in his homeland. He is scheduled to return to Naples before joining the Belgian national team camp for the 2026 World Cup qualifying matches.
The striker addressed fans via social media, emphasizing his loyalty to the club. "The truth is that I have felt physically unwell in recent weeks.
Tests showed that there is inflammation in the muscles," the player wrote.
Lukaku admitted that he felt under mental pressure because his physical condition was not 100 percent ready. According to him, he wants to give his all for Napoli, and his main goal is to help the team win.
Previously, the Italian club was planning to take disciplinary action against the striker for not attending training sessions. However, following Monday's meeting, all punitive measures were canceled, and it was decided to work collaboratively.
