Napoli unveil Lukaku’s jersey number amid Osimhen controversy

Romelu Lukaku’s jersey number at Napoli remains a subject of speculation as the club recently displayed a jersey with his name and the number 11.

This comes after earlier reports suggested that the newly signed striker would wear the number 9 jersey, following Victor Osimhen’s exclusion from Napoli’s squad for the season.

A recent post on Napoli’s X page showed Lukaku’s name on a jersey with the number 11, sparking questions about the club’s intentions. Some believe this could be a response to the rumors surrounding Osimhen’s situation, or perhaps a backtrack on their earlier decision.

Lukaku, who joined Napoli from Chelsea, is expected to lead the attack for Antonio Conte’s side this season. However, sources close to the situation suggest that Lukaku’s choice of the number 11 is unrelated to the ongoing issues with Osimhen.

The situation highlights the uncertainty around Napoli’s squad decisions as the season progresses.
