Fans Slam Lukaku’s Struggles at Napoli: ‘Even Haaland Can’t Replace Osimhen

Romelu Lukaku’s time at Napoli has been disappointing, and many fans are upset about the decision to replace Victor Osimhen with the Belgian striker.

After another poor performance in a 1-0 loss to Lazio, fans are questioning if even top player Erling Haaland could have done better in Osimhen’s place.

Lukaku has struggled since joining Napoli. In the game against Lazio, he had only 15 touches, 10 completed passes, and no shots on target in 90 minutes. His substitution in the final moments of the match was met with boos from the crowd, showing the growing frustration with his performances.

Though Lukaku has scored five goals in 13 Serie A games, his recent form has been poor, with just three goals in the past two months. He has been ineffective in important matches against teams like Juventus, Atalanta, and Inter, leading coach Antonio Conte to substitute him during key moments.

Fans are mocking both Lukaku and Conte for the decision to replace Osimhen. Osimhen, who was a fan favorite at Napoli, is now doing well in Turkey, scoring seven goals and making three assists in just nine games.

On social media, fans have shared their frustration. One Facebook user wrote, “How can Lukaku replace Victor? Even Haaland can’t replace him in that Napoli team.” Another suggested, “Napoli shouldn’t try to replace Osimhen now… they should look at players like Lookman or Boniface.”

Lukaku’s struggles have made fans doubt the club’s transfer decisions, as Napoli’s attack continues to lack power. The choice to replace Osimhen with Lukaku is being criticized more and more as the team faces challenges.
