In an interview with Belgian radio station RTBF, Lukaku discussed recent controversies and his relationship with Napoli.

Lukaku said: "The way some Italian media reported things made me unhappy, they exaggerated the facts. I didn't come back to Belgium for a holiday, I just want to get back to my best as soon as possible."
Speaking about his relationship with Napoli, the Belgian striker continued: "Everything is fine, everyone understands my previous actions. My love for the club remains the same. I still have one year left on my contract, I am a part of Napoli, I have never been someone who actively asks to leave."
Finally, he also talked about his physical condition: "I'm getting better day by day, and I'm even better now than before the 2022 World Cup. I shouldn't have gone to Qatar that year."
