According to Yahoo Sports, Lukaku is set to sign a three-year contract with Napoli, with the Serie A club agreeing to pay Chelsea €30 million ($33 million) plus 30% of any future transfer fee.
The 31-year-old enjoyed his most successful seasons under Antonio Conte at Inter Milan.
He has been training separately from the main Chelsea squad in recent weeks as the club searched for a buyer.
Despite being one of the most expensive signings at $135 million in 2021—making him the seventh most expensive soccer player at the time—Lukaku's second stint at Stamford Bridge has been widely considered a disappointment.
He spent the 2022-23 season on loan at Inter Milan and last season on loan at Roma.
Lukaku links up with Conte
Chelsea signed Lukaku from Inter shortly after he played a key role in securing the Serie A title for the Nerazzurri, ending the season as their top scorer with 24 league goals.

Conte returned to Italy two months ago, tasked with reviving Napoli after a turbulent season that saw three different coaches at the helm.
