Romelu Lukaku's move to Besiktas denied, future stays at Napoli

Agent Federico Pastorello categorically denied any negotiations with Turkish club Besiktas regarding Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku, stating, "I have never spoken with the officials of Besiktas. All talk of negotiations is completely false. Lukaku has no intention of moving to Besiktas."

Lukaku remains under contract with Napoli until mid‑2027, with coach Massimiliano Allegri counting on him as a key player. After a strong World Cup showing – three goals and an assist – the striker aims to improve on a difficult previous season hampered by injuries, and his future appears to stay in Naples despite his high wages.
