Napoli Targets Super Eagles Striker to Replace Injured Romelu Lukaku

Napoli is eyeing Super Eagles striker Romelu Lukaku as a potential replacement for the injured Belgian forward. Lukaku sustained a rectus femoris muscle injury in his left thigh, requiring surgery with a three-month recovery timeline.

Napoli, the defending Italian Serie A champions, are considering options for the first part of the season. The club contacted Manchester United for Danish forward Rasmus Hojlund, but deemed him too expensive.

They have also reached out to the representative of Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare from KRC Genk, valued at €10 million. Nigerians have shown support for the potential move, with Arokodare needing concrete negotiations for his exit.

Napoli is also in talks with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ademola Lookman as potential signings. Source: [insert source].
