Romelu Lukaku, who was transferred by Fenerbahce, summarized his injury period at Napoli as 'It was the worst year of my life.' Lukaku stated that after completing his contract with Fenerbahce, he aims to return home.
Romelu Lukaku, who Fenerbahçe transferred from Napoli, made important statements to Belgian television. The experienced striker, who played only 7 matches for Napoli last season due to injury, summarized that period with the words, "It was the worst year of my life."
"I WILL RETURN HOME"
Lukaku stated that he signed a one-year contract with Fenerbahçe with an option for another year, saying, "I hope I complete these two seasons successfully, then I will return home."
"THIS IS A MATTER OF MINDSET"
The 33-year-old forward also explained his career plans, saying, "I will soon get back into shape. I have always said that I want to continue until 2030, including with the national team. After that, everything ends. There are many players who play football until the age of 40. This is a matter of mindset. If you constantly listen to others, you become unhappy, but I listen to myself and take good care of myself."
"THE EXPERIENCE IN TURKEY IS FOR ME..."
Lukaku also spoke about his Turkish adventure, saying, "This experience in Turkey is new for me, but it is at a very high level professionally. I need motivation. This is the best solution for me; I want to continue playing at a high level. Here, I will compete in a strong league, fight for trophies, and maybe even in the Champions League. This will be good for both me and the national team."
