Romelu Lukaku has found himself under intense scrutiny from Napoli fans just months after stepping in to replace Victor Osimhen, who left for Galatasaray on a season-long loan.
Napoli endured a turbulent summer transfer window as they worked tirelessly to navigate player exits and secure replacements. The departure of Osimhen, a fan favorite, marked the end of a chaotic season that saw the club undergo three managerial changes.
Antonio Conte’s appointment brought hope for stability, but challenges persist as the team seeks to rebuild.
Despite high expectations, Lukaku’s performances have been met with disappointment, leaving fans questioning whether he can fill the void left by Osimhen, whose dynamic presence had been instrumental for Napoli.
Victor Osimhen’s summer departure from Napoli dominated the headlines after the striker decided to leave the club following a successful four-year stint at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Despite his contributions, Osimhen was eventually loaned out to Galatasaray for the season after a permanent transfer failed to materialize. His exit left a significant gap, with Romelu Lukaku being brought in from Chelsea as his replacement.
Lukaku, who had also pushed for a move away from Stamford Bridge, now faces the pressure of filling the shoes of a player beloved by Napoli fans.
