The Italian League in recent years has become a new port for footballers who have been a career in England. Lukaku feels a lot of love in Italy.
“A Napoli player receives a lot of love. I am happy that Kevin will feel it. Playing football in Italy is no comparison – there is a kind of passion that you don’t see elsewhere,” Lukaku explained.
“But there is also a bad side … I have played in clubs where fans will come to the training ground when things do not go well. That is not fun, but makes you realize that you have to give everything, every day,” Lukaku emphasized.
