Romelu Lukaku's agent Federico Pastorello says the Belgian striker cannot be a back-up at Napoli: 'He isn't the kind of person who stays where he's not wanted.'
Pastorello spoke to Sky Sport Italia on Friday night, discussing his client's situation at Napoli.
Lukaku is about to begin his third season at the Stadio Maradona, but has less than a year left in his contract.
He only played 64 minutes of football at a club level in 2025-26, mostly due to a serious muscle injury he suffered during the pre-season.
Asked whether Lukaku would accept being a Napoli reserve in 2026-27, Pastorello replied: "Obviously not. He's an extraordinary player, and he's proved it. He's one of the most prolific strikers in the world. It's hard for us to accept a situation like that.
