Latest News about Romelu Lukaku
Romelu Lukaku is departing Napoli ahead of a summer sale after a turbulent stint in Italy, returning to Belgium to continue rehabilitation from a long-term injury. Both the player and the club appear resigned to parting ways, marking another chapter in his career as he leaves Italy once again.
Romelu Lukaku was included in Belgium's 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup despite an injury-plagued season where he made only seven substitute appearances totaling 69 minutes. Manager Rudi Garcia expressed concerns about Lukaku's fitness, stating he is 'out of shape' and not in optimal condition, but affirmed he remains Belgium's finest striker and leading scorer with 89 goals.
Lukaku returned to Napoli after a five-week recovery period in Belgium for a hamstring injury, boosting Belgium's World Cup preparations. The striker had spent two months recuperating in his homeland before resuming training with the Italian club ahead of the upcoming tournament.
Lukaku opted out of Belgium's World Cup warm-up matches in Atlanta and Chicago to focus on improving his fitness. The 32-year-old striker, who has 89 goals in 124 international appearances, missed the friendly against the U.S. and Mexico to prioritize his physical condition for the tournament.
