CroatiaRomelu Lukaku might leave Napoli due to financial constraints, with potential interest from MLS clubs like New York City FC. Napoli wants to reduce costs by selling him, but any transfer depends on interested clubs meeting financial requirements for permanent contract buyouts. European clubs such as Ajax and Monaco have shown initial interest, but no formal negotiations have started yet. Lukaku's current salary of around €12 million per season is a major obstacle. Napoli's president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, insists on maintaining the price unless Lukaku agrees to a significant pay cut or convinces new coach Massimiliano Allegri of his importance to the team. The club has already begun preparations for the new season, and Lukaku is not training with the squad.
