Reports in Turkey claim that Romelu Lukaku has once again been offered to Fenerbahce as he seeks a new home for the 2026-27 season, but a move to Saudi Arabia is now also becoming a possibility according to the latest update. 

Report: Lukaku offered to Fenerbahce

Lukaku, 33, is now into the final year of his contract with Napoli and after a disappointing 2025-26 season on an individual level, he is not expected to be Massimiliano Allegri’s first-choice striker heading into the new campaign.

Reports in Italy claim that Napoli are willing to accept offers of just €10m for the experienced centre-forward, but a move away from the Stadio Maradona has not yet materialised. 

Over the last few days, MLS side Atlanta United have been linked with a move for Belgium’s all-time leading goalscorer, but reports on Friday claim that he has also been offered to Fenerbahce once again. 

According to TRT Spor reporter Doruk Tecimer, Lukaku has been ‘offered’ to Fenerbahce and this is not the first time that he has been proposed to the Turkish giants. In fact, he had also been offered during the January transfer window and once more around a month ago.

As things stand, there have not been any formal discussions between Fenerbahce, Napoli or the player’s agents. 

Friday’s update adds that Turkey is a serious option for Lukaku, but that he is also considering potential offers from Saudi Arabia as well.
