A shock transfer for Romelu Lukaku? Chelsea striker hints at snubbing AC Milan & Napoli as he says move to surprise club will 'definitely' happen

Lukaku is not short of options for his next club after completing an impressive campaign at Roma. Reports suggest Antonio Conte is keen to bring him to Napoli while <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ac-milan-contact-chelsea-romelu-lukaku-loan-christian-pulisic-reunion/bltd385d33682b9f6ec" target="_blank">AC Milan are also monitoring his situation at Chelsea</a>. Despite this, reports have suggested that Lukaku is keen to return to Belgium and former club Anderlecht in the near future.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Speaking to Belgian journalist <a href="https://myprivacy.dpgmedia.be/consent?siteKey=Uqxf9TXhjmaG4pbQ&amp;callbackUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hln.be%2Fprivacy-gate%2Faccept-tcf2%3FredirectUri%3D%252Frode-duivels%252Fexclusief-romelu-lukaku-over-situatie-courtois-ik-heb-hen-allebei-gezegd-wat-ik-erover-dacht~a7f893d6%252F" target="_blank">Aster Nzeyimana</a>, Lukaku said: "&nbsp;I miss my mother, my children. I left my country at eighteen. That return will definitely happen, much sooner than you might think. But now only the national team and the future matter. We have to support the players who give us and who have done a good job.&nbsp;I ask the media: stop throwing fuel on the fire.&nbsp;Let's move forward."

WHAT THE REPORT SAID

Lukaku clearly has a lot of talent still in his locker and he enjoyed a prolific campaign with Roma, scoring 12 goals. He has been loving his football in Italy and could seek a move back there with things never really working out after moving to Chelsea. But at 31, Lukaku only has a limited number of years left at the top and if he is to return to the Belgian top flight then he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-set-price-romelu-lukaku-bid-sell-belgium/bltcdb5004c494719ab" target="_blank">may have to make that decision sooner rather than later.</a>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Lukaku will <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/belgium-euro-2024-squad-domenico-tedesco/blt6e2cf21628cd9fd1" target="_blank">reconnect with his country during Euro 2024</a> and should Belgium win the tournament he may feel stronger about returning to his home for the 2024-25 season. The striker is set to play a key role for the Red Devils as they look to claim their first major trophy.
