Napoli have signed Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea, setting up a reunion with former manager Antonio Conte.
The Serie A side have paid a fixed fee of £25.2m (€30m) for Lukaku after hurdles involving image rights were resolved last week to pave the way for his return to Italy.
The 31-year-old has not played for the Blues for more than two years, spending the last two seasons on loan with Inter Milan and then Roma.
Conte and Lukaku worked together at Inter, where across two seasons he scored 64 goals in 95 games across all competitions.
That convinced the Blues to re-sign him for a then club-record fee of £97.5m in 2021 – but he managed only 26 Premier League games and eight goals during his second spell at Stamford Bridge.
Lukaku netted 21 times in 47 games for Roma last season, helping them reach the Europa League semi-finals.
