Details and numbers as Romelu Lukaku nears Fenerbahce transfer

Turkish club Fenerbahce is close to finalizing a transfer for Romelu Lukaku from Italian Serie A side Napoli. According to reports, Lukaku has given his approval to join Fenerbahce after reaching an agreement over personal terms worth €10 million per season. However, Fenerbahce's demands for a significantly lower price of €8 million in installments are creating a barrier to the transfer.

Napoli, who paid Chelsea €30 million for Lukaku's permanent signing, is standing firm on their €12 million asking price. This high demand is likely due to the resale value Chelsea retains, which could result in a significant financial loss for Napoli if they were to sell the striker at a lower price. Despite Lukaku's recent win of the Serie A title with Napoli, their reluctance to lower their demands appears justified, as they do not wish to suffer a major capital loss.

With Fenerbahce keen on completing the deal quickly, the transfer is expected to progress smoothly once Napoli give their approval.
