Napoli is facing a difficult problem in the attack after Romelu Lukaku is injured in a friendly match.
Napoli consider buying more strikers after Lukaku's injury
According to journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Napoli may be forced to search for a new striker to complement the squad of Antonio Conte, when the Serie A season is near. Earlier, Gli Azzurri sold Giovanni Simeone and Giacomo Raspadori, who should have temporarily replaced Romelu Lukaku. Now, all eyes are focused on medical diagnostic results to determine the next step in the transfer market.

| Napoli consider buying more strikers after Lukaku's injury |
Lukaku's injury was determined to stretch his left thigh muscle, sticking to the match against Olympiacos last week. Napoli's health committee will soon have a detailed report, but the atmosphere in the team shows that this is not a minor injury. After winning the Serie A last season, Conte certainly did not want to enter a new season without lacking a reliable penalty assassin.
Lukaku, who worked with Conte at Inter, joined Napoli last season. He left a bold impression with 25 goals contributions in the 2024/25 season, including 14 goals and 11 assists after 38 appearances in all competitions. Not only that, this 32 -year -old striker is also the number one goalscorer of the Belgian team with 89 goals after 124 matches.
Napoli now has no other way but waiting for Lukaku's medical examination results. In case he has to take a long -term leave, the management of the Southern Italian team will be forced to act urgently to find an alternative. Time is not much, because the transfer market will officially close on August 31, ie Napoli only has only 13 days to solve this conundrum.
