Lukaku moves away from Napoli: it costs too much, only Arabia can afford it. Corriere dello Sport writes about it with Fabio Mandarini.
The current parameters, as is known, are very high: the salary foreseen in his contract until 2026 is 10 million plus bonuses; and furthermore, Chelsea excludes the possibility of letting him leave on loan and is actually aiming exclusively for a permanent transfer, upon satisfaction of the release clause of 37.5 million pounds; more or less 44 million euros.
Lukaku, only Saudi Arabia can afford it
Arabia. Strategy? It could be, also because the Blues are forced to realize proceeds and capital gains by June 30th to satisfy the English Financial Fair Play rules and therefore could also be satisfied with 20-25 million. We will see. The fact is that the information collected by Manna to understand the margins of maneuver of a possible operation resulted in an obstacle. If not a wall. Among other things, in the famous interview above, Lukaku also spoke about the possibility of a future in Saudi Arabia, which he discarded a year ago. And in these days that separate Belgium from Calzona’s debut against Slovakia, scheduled for tomorrow at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, his national team colleague Yannick Carrasco, already in Saudi with Al-Shabab, also revealed a background story in the conference : «Lukaku and De Bruyne asked me for information on how things are going in Saudi. Living that reality makes it easier for me to give feedback.”
