According to Belgian transfer expert Sacha Tavolieri , Fenerbahce have provided a private jet that will take the striker from Brussels to Istanbul this evening, setting off at 19.00 local time.
That is not all, because Fabrizio Romano claims that Fenerbahce have also agreed the sale of Egypt international defender Fayed to Serie A team Frosinone.
The 23-year-old is expected to fly out to Italy for his medical tests and to sign the contract on Thursday.
He has been on their books since 2023, but had several loan experiences at Novi Pazar, Beerschot and most recently Arouca.
Turkish media have that fee at €0.5m.

What happened
Reports indicate that Romelu Lukaku is on the verge of leaving Napoli, with a private jet reportedly on standby at Fenerbahce in Turkey to facilitate his transfer. Lukaku had a difficult second spell at Chelsea and joined Napoli on loan, but struggled for form in Serie A. Meanwhile, in a separate deal, the sale of Fayed to Serie B side Frosinone has been agreed, adding to the summer transfer movement in Italian football.
Chance analysis
Lukaku's potential departure from Napoli signals another failed chapter in his nomadic career and would free up a significant wage and squad space for Napoli to pursue alternative striking options. For Fenerbahce, landing a high-profile striker like Lukaku would represent a major statement signing in the Turkish Süper Lig. The Fayed-to-Frosinone deal is a lower-profile move but contributes to Frosinone's squad building for their Serie B campaign.
Lukaku likely leaves Napoli in a transfer, weakening their attacking depth; Fenerbahce strengthen their forward line; Frosinone add a new player for Serie B.
Monitor Lukaku's transfer status closely; if confirmed, Napoli lose their primary striker option and Fenerbahce gain a major attacking reinforcement.
