Napoli Threatens Romelu Lukaku with Squad Exclusion
Napoli is prepared to take severe disciplinary action against Romelu Lukaku, with the star striker facing immediate removal from the first-team squad if he does not report for training by March 31st.
Despite recovering from a recent injury, the Belgian international has remained in his home country, significantly delaying his return to the Castel Volturno training center. This decision has caused considerable tension within the club and throughout Italy. Napoli's management views this as a serious breach of conduct and has already decided to impose a substantial fine on the player.
This ultimatum serves as a final warning for the forward. Should Lukaku fail to present himself for training by the Tuesday deadline, the club will officially exclude him from the squad.
As Antonio Conte’s side enters a crucial phase of the season, the strained relationship between the prominent striker and the club's hierarchy has reached a breaking point, potentially signaling an imminent end to his tenure in Naples if the situation is not promptly resolved.
