Romelu Lukaku is the spokesperson of a clear and in no uncertain terms message: Antonio Conte must stay. The Belgian striker, a great protagonist of the Azzurri season, broke the silence on the unknowns surrounding the Neapolitan bench with a direct appeal to the microphones of RaiSport.

We must do everything to keep him here.", said the Belgian, expressing not only his professional esteem but also a deep personal bond with the coach who wanted him in the team from the very beginning. Lukaku repeated the message several times, as if to underline the importance that Conte has for him and for the entire group: "I've already told you and I'll repeat it now: stay."

A statement that is not just a simple wish, but a firm invitation to those in charge to find the best solution to ensure continuity to a project that has just led to triumph. The link between Lukaku and Conte has strengthened during a season that has seen both of them at the centre of the stage: the striker has found a point of reference in the coach, while the manager has relied on him to build the winning attack of Napoli, champion of Italy.
