Belgium international Romelu Lukaku is on the verge of completing a move to Turkish giants Fenerbahçe after Napoli gave the green light for the transfer.
A club-to-club agreement has reportedly been reached following an improved offer from Fenerbahçe, with the latest bid understood to be worth more than €6 million.
Lukaku has also agreed personal terms with the Istanbul-based club, bringing the proposed transfer a significant step closer to completion.
The agreement is currently verbal, with the necessary paperwork expected to be reviewed and checked before the deal can be formally concluded.
The move would see the experienced striker continue his career in Turkey after his latest spell with Napoli.
Lukaku’s potential arrival is expected to strengthen Fenerbahçe’s attacking options as the club prepares for the new season.
The Belgian forward remains one of Europe’s most experienced strikers, having played for several top clubs, including Chelsea, Manchester United, Inter Milan, Roma and Napoli.
Fenerbahçe’s pursuit of Lukaku has gathered momentum in recent days, and the acceptance of the improved offer by Napoli appears to have cleared a major hurdle in negotiations.
If the paperwork is successfully completed, Lukaku will become one of the most high-profile additions to the Turkish Super Lig and will bring considerable experience at both club and international level.
The final formalities are now expected to determine whether the transfer can be officially announced, with the verbal agreement already in place between the parties.
