Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku have had a difficult season at Napoli, each missing large parts of the campaign through injuries – a thigh injury for Lukaku and a hamstring surgery for De Bruyne – leaving them together on the pitch for only six minutes and with limited appearances. Despite the setbacks, both players have publicly stated their intention to remain with the club.
Coach Massimiliano Allegri has expressed openness to keeping the Belgian duo, noting Lukaku’s good form in recent friendlies and indicating that a fit Lukaku would be welcome in his plans. The club’s leadership, including president Aurelio De Laurentis, is expected to discuss contract extensions with the pair as they aim to contribute to Napoli’s future success and prepare for the upcoming World Cup with Belgium.
