Italian job helped Lukaku whittle away extra weight
Manchester Evening News
|March 17, 2025
FORMER Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku was forced to lose 20lbs at latest club Napoli, years after being sold by the Red Devils after issues with his weight.
The Belgian striker arrived at Old Trafford from Everton in 2017 for a deal worth an initial £75million. But just two seasons later, Lukaku was shipped out to Serie A side Inter Milan after he reportedly shocked the United backroom staff with his conditioning after turning up to pre-season training carrying extra pounds.
Lukaku was thought to be 9lbs over his ideal weight when he returned to the club's Carrington training centre and was hitting over the 100kg (15.7st) mark when he arrived in Italy back in 2019.
Since leaving United, Lukaku has had stints at Inter, on two occasions, another at Chelsea where he flopped, and Roma - but he now plays his football in Naples under ex-Chelsea boss Antonio Conte.
