Romelu Lukaku will not remain at Roma or Chelsea, whose owners have no intention of extending his loan. In an interview with Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws, Lukaku dropped some hints about his future, suggesting that a major decision is imminent.
"I already understand what will happen.
I'll decide, I'm in control of my situation. I'll make a choice, and once I explain it, everyone will agree with me.
Every time I've decided to stay or leave, it's turned out to be the right choice for various factors," Lukaku said, implying that his destiny is already outlined in his mind. His words suggest a possible self-candidacy towards Napoli. "What factors influence my choice?
My relationship with my coach, for example. It's like a relationship with a woman. If it doesn't work anymore, why stay together?
The best coach I've had so far? Antonio Conte," he said, implying the importance of a good relationship with the coach in his decision. Lukaku also touched on the subject of offers from Saudi Arabia, admitting that there were moments of uncertainty: "It was really intense.
For two days straight I thought, 'Yes, I'm going,' 'No, I'm not going.' Now Saudi Arabia wouldn't stop me. The level will only rise and will reach a much higher level than many think."
