Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku has finalized a transfer to the Turkish team Fenerbahce, leaving behind his previous club, Napoli. The 33-year-old athlete faced a challenging previous campaign in Serie A, limited to just seven total matches due to fitness setbacks.
This move marks a return to Turkey for Belgium’s top all-time goalscorer, who resided in the country during the 1996-1997 season while his father, Roger, competed for Genclerbirligi. Expressing his enthusiasm in a social media message, Lukaku stated that returning to the country where he first encountered the professional football environment is a significant personal milestone. He confirmed that he is fully healthy and eager to contribute.
While specific financial details and contract duration remain private, Lukaku brings extensive experience to a club seeking its first league title since 2014. Despite his recent injuries, he managed to net three goals during the most recent World Cup. Lukaku joins Fenerbahce alongside fellow former Manchester United player Mason Greenwood, aiming to help the side overcome a four-year streak as league runners-up.
