Mourinho Was Right to Want Him at Fenerbahçe: Lukaku Becomes the Hero in His First Match for Napoli!

Belgian star striker Romelu Lukaku made a strong start to his career at Napoli, quickly becoming the hero in his debut match.

Lukaku Scores a Crucial Goal in His First Match for Napoli

Romelu Lukaku came off the bench when Antonio Conte’s team was trailing 1-0. The Belgian striker scored in the dying minutes, turning well in the penalty area and placing the ball into the bottom corner to equalize. With this goal, Lukaku became a hero in his very first match for his new club as Napoli secured a dramatic win against Parma in extra time.

Napoli Triumphs Without Victor Osimhen

Despite not reaching a transfer agreement over the summer with clubs from Saudi Arabia and Chelsea, Napoli played without Victor Osimhen, who was removed from the squad. However, Napoli still managed to defeat Parma thanks to a dramatic winning goal by Frank Zambo Anguissa in the 96th minute.

Mourinho Wanted Lukaku at Fenerbahçe

It was rumored that Fenerbahçe manager Jose Mourinho was interested in signing the star striker Lukaku, but financial reasons made the transfer impossible. Lukaku has an impressive record in Serie A, scoring 71 goals in 130 matches in Italy’s top league. He will be eager to add to this tally throughout the season.

Upcoming Matches and Time to Settle in

Napoli will face Cagliari on September 15. Lukaku, not being called up for Belgium’s first two Nations League matches against Israel and France, will have more time to adapt to his new environment in Italy before the match.
