Belgian Romelu Lukaku, Napoli's Italian striker, has become a candidate to leave his team during the current summer transfer window and move to the American league.
According to what was reported by the Italian newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport", Atlanta United has topped the list of clubs interested in signing Lukaku.
This comes amid rumors about Lukaku's future, after last season saw tension between the player and the club over the handling of his injury and recovery program, before he left for Belgium to complete his rehabilitation period.
Previous reports had indicated that Napoli placed Lukaku on the list of players offered for sale, as part of the club's desire to reduce the wage bill and reorganize the squad.
The Belgian striker's contract with Napoli runs until June 2027, meaning he has already entered the final year of his deal.
According to reports, Napoli values Lukaku at around 10 to 12 million euros on the transfer market.
