Media reports indicate that the belgian striker Romelu Lukaku, who was reportedly a candidate for Napoli this summer, is currently the subject of interest from Atlanta United, an MLS club. Lukaku played a pivotal role in Napoli securing the Italian championship title during the 2024 season. However, his subsequent campaign saw his goal-scoring output limited to only five league goals, a decline attributed to recurring injury issues.
The situation at Napoli has become more complex following the appointment of new coach Max Allegri and increased internal competition within the attacking unit, particularly from players such as Rasmus Hjulmand. This shift in team dynamics has reportedly altered the established role of the veteran forward. According to Belgian sports reporter Sasha Tavolieri, the interest from the American club, Atlanta United, appears to be escalating.
Tavolieri noted that the mls side has reportedly intensified its efforts to secure the services of the experienced belgian striker. The speculation suggests that, despite his recent success in Italy, Lukaku’s current status and availability are being closely monitored by North American clubs looking for high-caliber attacking talent.
