Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku Still Hasn’t Concluded His Exit on Social Media Weeks After Departure
It has been weeks since Romelu Lukaku reportedly left Chelsea for Napoli, yet the club still hasn’t officially communicated his departure on social media. Fans spotted the absence of an announcement, especially on social media platforms where top-flight clubs typically share news concerning their players.
Lukaku recently completed a permanent move to Napoli, sealing his departure from Chelsea after joining the club in 2021 and only managing to make 44 appearances during his time there. Despite his average spell, Lukaku couldn’t resist the allure of re-uniting with his former Inter Milan gaffer Antonio Conte, who previously guided the Italian side to a Seria A title.
Chelsea’s brief release on their official website simply stated the bare facts of Lukaku’s departure with no thanks or acknowledgment of his period at the club. This lackadaisical approach has triggered curiosity among Chelsea fans, who are anxious to hear the inside story of Lukaku’s exit.
The Conte Connection
Lukaku and Conte shared a warm moment while Lukaku was still at Inter, where he played under the Italian expert in the 2020/21 campaign. The 31-year-old thrived under Conte’s guidance, netting 24 goals and claiming Scudetto victory in Milan with Inter. When asked about this memorable chapter, Lukaku was clearly touched by their partnership.
"To me, it’s a special day when I have a chance to stay with someone like him," stated Lukaku. "I have respect for him as a coach, and more than that, as a person.
"We won the Scudetto together, and I think that’s definitely something special that we shared…"
Lukaku went so far as to mention a cherished team photo that will always hold a significance in his life.
"That, for me, is the nicest thing to come out of our journey together," he confirmed.
