Romelu Lukaku, the talented Chelsea striker, has recently spoken about his future and how he is in control of it. It seems that the 31-year-old is open to the possibility of playing for Antonio Conte at Napoli after a successful season on loan at Roma, where he scored 21 goals in 47 appearances for the Serie A club.
Many speculate that Lukaku has a release clause of £38 million this summer and Chelsea are eager to have any interested clubs meet this figure. The striker was signed in a whopping £97.5 million deal from Inter in August 2021. Despite all the rumors and talks, Lukaku remains confident and in control of his future, with the relationship with his manager being a crucial factor in his decision.
In a recent interview with RTL, Lukaku stated, "I've already figured it out in my head. I know what will happen. A lot of people like to talk, maybe because I don't have a real estate agent. But I'm going to decide. I am in control of my situation." He also added, "I'm going to make a choice and once I explain it, everyone will agree with me."
Lukaku has a history of making the right decision when it comes to his career, and he believes that his relationship with his coach plays a significant role in it. "Look, every time I decided to stay or leave somewhere, certain factors – for example my relationship with the coach – turned out to be the right choice," he said. When asked about the best coach he has worked with so far, Lukaku replied, "Antonio Conte."
The Belgian international also expressed his openness to joining the Saudi Pro League, which could provide him with an alternative option to Napoli this summer. He revealed, "I have often spoken with Yannick [Carrasco] about life there. He lives in a compound there, but you really have everything there." Lukaku believes that the level of football in Saudi Arabia is only going to increase, and more European top clubs are taking notice.
In conclusion, Lukaku remains confident and in control of his future, with his relationship with the coach being a crucial factor. Whether he stays at Chelsea, joins Napoli, or moves to the Saudi Pro League, one thing is for sure – Lukaku will make the right decision for himself.
