Fans have spotted that Romelu Lukaku's Chelsea exit has still not been officially communicated on social media.
The Belgian international joined Napoli on a permanent deal, ending a torrid second spell at Stamford Bridge.
Lukaku re-joined the Blues from Inter Milan back in 2021 and made 44 appearances, scoring 15 goals.

The 31-year-old departure has drawn attention from Chelsea supporters with no announcement having been made online.
The Blues did post a small statement on their website but without even thanking Lukaku for his service at the club.
"Romelu Lukaku has left Chelsea and completed a permanent move to Napoli for an undisclosed fee," the communication read.
"The Belgium international, who joined Chelsea in the summer of 2021, has spent the previous two campaigns on loan in Serie A at Inter Milan and Roma.
"Lukaku will now reunite with former Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte in Naples on a permanent basis.
It will be a welcome reunion for Lukaku and Conte, given the pair last worked together at the San Siro with Inter.
During the 2020/21 season, the Belgian forward netted 24 goals and claimed a famous Scudetto victory in Milan.
“I have a history with him that started many years ago," said Lukaku after his move to Napoli was finalised earlier this week.
"He wanted a big guy for nine or ten years, but we never got the opportunity to work together.
"Then we had the opportunity a couple of years ago.
“I think he has brought me to another level in terms of football, but also mentally.”
The 31-year-old added that he has one specific photo that is particularly close to his heart.
“The nicest thing is a picture I have with him when we won the Scudetto," he said.
"That, for me, is the nicest thing to come from our journey together.”
