Club Journey
Starting Out in Football
Lukaku began playing for his local team, Rupel Boom, when he was just five years old. After four seasons, scouts from Lierse noticed him. Lierse was a Belgian club known for its youth academy.
He played for Lierse from 2004 to 2006. During this time, he scored an amazing 121 goals in 68 matches. When Lierse was moved to a lower league, Anderlecht bought 13 young players from them, including Lukaku. He spent three more years as a youth player with Anderlecht. He scored 131 goals in 93 games.
Playing for Anderlecht

On his 16th birthday in May 2009, Lukaku signed a professional contract with Anderlecht. Just eleven days later, he made his debut in the Belgian First Division. He came on as a substitute in a match against Standard Liège.
Lukaku became a regular player for Anderlecht in the 2009–10 season. He scored his first senior goal in August 2009. He finished the season as the top goalscorer in the league with 15 goals. Anderlecht won their 30th Belgian title that year. He also scored four goals in the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League. In the 2010–11 season, Lukaku scored 20 goals in all competitions.
Time at Chelsea

In August 2011, Lukaku joined Premier League club Chelsea. He signed a five-year contract. The transfer fee was around €12 million (£10 million).
First Season at Chelsea
Lukaku made his Chelsea debut in a 3–1 win against Norwich City. He came on as a substitute. He started his first Premier League match in May 2012 against Blackburn Rovers. He played very well and helped set up a goal.
However, Lukaku was not happy with how little he played that season. After Chelsea won the Champions League final, he refused to hold the trophy. He felt he had not contributed enough to the win.
Loan to West Bromwich Albion

In August 2012, Lukaku joined West Bromwich Albion on a loan for the season. He scored his first league goal for them eight days later against Liverpool. He scored the only goal in his first full start against Reading.
On 24 November, Lukaku came on as a substitute and scored a penalty. He also assisted another goal as West Brom beat Sunderland 4–2. This was West Brom's fourth straight win in the top league. In January 2013, Lukaku scored two goals against Reading.
He scored another two goals in a 2–1 win against Sunderland in February. On 19 May, Lukaku scored a perfect hat-trick (one goal with his left foot, one with his right, and one with his head). West Brom came back from three goals down to draw 5–5 with Manchester United. This was the highest-scoring draw in Premier League history. Lukaku scored 17 goals that season, more than any Chelsea player.
Loan to Everton

On the last day of the 2013 summer transfer window, Lukaku joined Everton on a season-long loan. He made his debut on 21 September 2013 against West Ham United. He scored the winning goal in a 3–2 victory for Everton.
He scored twice in his home debut against Newcastle United. He also helped set up another goal. He continued his great start by scoring against Aston Villa. He then scored two goals in the first Merseyside derby against Liverpool, which ended in a 3–3 draw. Lukaku said it was the best experience of his young career.
In January 2014, The Guardian newspaper named Lukaku as one of the ten most promising young players in Europe. He scored 15 goals in 31 league matches for Everton. He helped them finish fifth in the league.
Playing for Everton
Becoming a Star
Lukaku signed a five-year contract with Everton in July 2014. The fee was a club record £28 million. He scored his first goal as a permanent player against his old club West Brom. He did not celebrate the goal out of respect.
In February 2015, Lukaku scored his first hat-trick for Everton. This was in a 4–1 win against Young Boys in the UEFA Europa League. He scored two more goals in the second leg. With eight goals, he was the joint top scorer in that tournament.
In August 2015, Lukaku scored two goals in Everton's 3–0 win at Southampton. On 28 September, he scored twice and assisted another goal against West Brom. This helped Everton come back from 2–0 down to win 3–2. He scored against Liverpool the next week in a 1–1 draw.
On 21 November, Lukaku scored twice in a 4–0 win over Aston Villa. He became the fifth player under 23 to score at least 50 Premier League goals. On 7 December, he scored his 50th goal in 100 appearances for Everton. On 12 December, Lukaku became the first Everton player to score in six straight Premier League matches.
Continued Success
In February 2016, Lukaku scored his 20th goal of the season against Stoke City. This made him the first Everton player since Graeme Sharp to score at least 20 goals in all competitions for two seasons in a row. This goal was also his 16th league goal of the season, a record for Everton in the Premier League era.
On 1 March, Lukaku scored his 17th league goal of the season against Aston Villa. This was a new Premier League-era record for Everton. It also matched his best league goal total from his loan spell at West Brom.
On 12 September 2016, Lukaku scored all three goals in a 3–0 win against Sunderland. His goals were scored in just 11 minutes and 37 seconds. This made it the 12th-fastest hat-trick in Premier League history. On 4 February 2017, Lukaku scored four goals against Bournemouth in a 6–3 win. This was the 300th hat-trick in the Premier League.
On 5 March, he scored against Tottenham Hotspur. This made him Everton's all-time leading Premier League goalscorer. A week later, he scored twice against Hull City. This brought his league goal total to 21 for the season. He became the first Everton player since Gary Lineker to score more than 20 league goals in a season.
In March 2017, Lukaku turned down a new contract with Everton. He was named in the PFA Team of the Year for the first time.
Time at Manchester United
Joining Manchester United
Lukaku joined Manchester United on 10 July 2017. He signed a five-year contract. The fee was reported to be £75 million, plus extra payments. He became teammates with his close friend Paul Pogba. Lukaku's signing happened a day after Wayne Rooney left Manchester United to return to Everton.
First Season and Challenges

Lukaku made his debut against Real Madrid on 8 August. He scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 defeat. His league debut was five days later against West Ham. Lukaku scored two goals in a 4–0 win. He was the fourth Manchester United player to score two goals on his Premier League debut.
On 12 September, he scored his first UEFA Champions League goal against Basel. On 17 September, Lukaku scored United's third goal in a 4–0 win over his former club Everton. He celebrated by cupping his ears towards the Everton fans who had been booing him.
On 27 September, Lukaku scored two goals against CSKA Moscow. This brought his total to ten goals in his first nine games. He broke the record set by Bobby Charlton. On 25 February 2018, Lukaku scored the equalizing goal against Chelsea. He then assisted Jesse Lingard's winning goal.
He scored his 200th goal for club and country on 13 March against Sevilla. On 31 March 2018, Lukaku scored his 100th Premier League goal. He was the fifth youngest player to reach this milestone.
Last Season in Manchester
Lukaku started the 2018–19 season with four goals in his first five games. This included two goals against Burnley. He then had a period without scoring for 12 games. After manager José Mourinho was replaced, Lukaku was left out of the squad for the first two games.
Lukaku came on as a substitute in the next two games and scored in both. He then played the full 90 minutes in an FA Cup game against Reading, scoring the second goal. However, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær often preferred to start Marcus Rashford as the main striker.
Lukaku's goalscoring form returned in the next three games. He scored two goals against Crystal Palace, Southampton, and Paris Saint-Germain. The goals against PSG helped United win 3–1 and reach the Champions League quarter-finals. However, United were knocked out by Barcelona.
Moving to Inter Milan
Club Record Transfer and Europa League
Lukaku joined Italian club Inter Milan on 8 August 2019. He signed a five-year contract. The fee was reported to be a club record €80 million. He later said he left Manchester United because he felt he was unfairly blamed for problems.
Lukaku made his debut for Inter on 26 August against Lecce. He scored his side's third goal in a 4–0 win. This meant he had scored in his first league game for five of the six clubs he had played for. In Inter's second league game, he scored the winning goal from a penalty against Cagliari. However, he faced racial abuse from some Cagliari fans during this match.
Lukaku formed a strong attacking partnership with Lautaro Martínez. Italian media called them "Lu-La." On 2 November, Lukaku scored two goals against Bologna. This matched Ronaldo's record of nine goals in his first eleven league games for Inter. On 27 November, Lukaku scored his first Champions League goal for Inter against Slavia Prague.
He started 2020 by scoring two goals against Napoli. This was Inter's first league win at Napoli's stadium since 1997. On 9 February, Lukaku scored the final goal in a 4–2 win over Milan. This sent Inter to the top of the league table.
On 25 July, Lukaku scored two goals against Genoa. He became the first Inter player since 1949–50 to score 15 away goals in a Serie A season. He finished his first Serie A season with 23 goals. Inter finished second in the league, just one point behind Juventus.
On 5 August, Lukaku scored in a 2–0 win over Getafe in the Europa League. This was his 30th goal in all competitions, a new personal best. He also scored in his eighth straight Europa League match, matching a record set by Alan Shearer. In the quarter-finals, he broke this record by scoring in his ninth straight match. Inter reached the final. In the final, he scored a penalty but also an own goal, and Sevilla won 3–2. Lukaku equaled Ronaldo's record of 34 goals in all competitions for Inter.
Winning Serie A
On 21 October 2020, Lukaku scored two goals against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Champions League. On 1 December, he scored another two goals against Mönchengladbach to secure a 3–2 away win. However, Inter finished last in their group and were out of European competitions.
On 3 January 2021, Lukaku scored against Crotone. This was his 50th goal for Inter in only 70 matches. He broke Ronaldo's record, who scored 50 goals in 77 matches. On 26 January, Lukaku had a heated moment with former Manchester United teammate Zlatan Ibrahimović during a cup match against Milan. Both players received yellow cards.
On 14 February, he scored two goals and assisted another against Lazio. This brought his Serie A goal total to 16, matching Cristiano Ronaldo as the league's top scorer. Lukaku's second goal was also the 300th of his professional career. Inter won the 2020–21 Serie A title for the first time since 2009–10. Lukaku finished the season with 24 league goals and eleven assists. He was the top scorer for the title-winning team.
Back to Chelsea
Club World Cup Champion
On 12 August 2021, Lukaku returned to Chelsea. He signed a five-year deal for a reported club record fee of £97.5 million. This made him the most expensive player of all time based on total transfer fees. Lukaku said he asked Inter to agree to the move because he was not happy at Manchester United.
On 22 August, Lukaku scored in his second debut for Chelsea against Arsenal. On 12 September, he scored two goals at Stamford Bridge against Aston Villa. Two days later, he scored his first European goal for Chelsea against Zenit. In October, Lukaku was one of five Chelsea players on the shortlist for the 2021 Ballon d'Or award.
In late December, Lukaku caused some discussion when he said in an interview that he was "not happy" at Chelsea. He also said he wanted to return to Inter "in the near future." Because of this, manager Thomas Tuchel left him out of the squad for a match against Liverpool. Lukaku later apologized and said he wanted to move forward. He was brought back to the team. Lukaku finished the season with eight goals in 26 league games.
Loan to Inter Milan and Champions League Final
On 29 June 2022, Chelsea announced that Lukaku would return to Inter on a season-long loan. The loan fee was about €8 million. Lukaku chose to wear the number 90 shirt. On 13 August, he scored his first goal back at Inter in a 2–1 win over Lecce.
After some injuries, Lukaku made his first start for Inter in a 1–0 win over Napoli. This was Napoli's first league defeat of the season. In February 2023, he scored the only goal in a Champions League match against Porto. This helped Inter reach the quarter-finals. He started to play better in the later months of the season, scoring six goals between April and May.
On 5 April, he spoke out against racial abuse he suffered during a cup game against Juventus. On 24 May, he won his first Coppa Italia as Inter beat Fiorentina 2–1. On 10 June, he played in the 2023 Champions League final against Manchester City. He was criticized for missing some chances, and Inter lost 1–0.
Loan to Roma
In the summer of 2023, Lukaku was reportedly talking with Juventus about a possible move. This made many Inter and Juventus fans upset. However, on 31 August 2023, Lukaku was loaned to another Serie A club, Roma. The loan fee was around £8 million. Lukaku also agreed to a new contract at Chelsea with a lower salary. On 1 September, he made his debut for Roma. On 17 September, he scored his first goal in a 7–0 win over Empoli.

How He Plays
Lukaku is a left-footed player. In 2014, The Guardian named him one of Europe's most promising young players. He is a big and strong striker who uses his body to get past defenders. Even though he is large, he prefers to play as a pure striker or goal poacher. He can also play as a winger.
He is a well-rounded forward who is good in the air. Besides his strength and goalscoring, he is fast and athletic. He has good awareness, links up well with teammates, and has good vision. He also makes smart runs to create space. While he was once criticized for not helping enough on defense, his managers now praise his hard work without the ball.
Who Inspired Him
In a 2016 interview, Lukaku said Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka made him want to play for Chelsea. But he said Ronaldo was his biggest idol. Lukaku said, "Ronaldo changed football. He was the one you would look at." He admired Ronaldo's speed, dribbling, and strength. Lukaku added, "He changed the dimension of a striker."
Personal Life
Lukaku was born in Antwerp, Belgium. His parents are from the Congo. His father, Roger Lukaku, was also a professional footballer. Romelu has a younger brother named Jordan, who also plays football. His cousin Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo plays as a winger or defender.
Lukaku was featured in a TV show called De School Van Lukaku (Lukaku's School). The show followed him and his classmates at school. In 2009, the show visited Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's stadium. Lukaku said then, "If one day in my life I will cry, it will be the day I play here. I love Chelsea."
Besides French and Dutch, Lukaku speaks fluent English, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, and a Swahili dialect. He can also understand German. Lukaku is a Catholic and prays often before and after matches.
Media and Other Activities
Lukaku was the first Premier League player to join Jay-Z's management agency, Roc Nation Sports. In 2018, he signed a big sponsorship deal with the sportswear company Puma. This was Puma's largest endorsement deal ever. Lukaku is also known by his nickname, "Lakaka," which fans sometimes use.
Fighting Racism

Lukaku has spoken out against racism he has faced while playing football. This was especially true during his first year in Italy in the 2019–20 Serie A season.
In 2020, Lukaku honored George Floyd by kneeling and raising a fist. He did this after scoring a goal for Inter against Sampdoria. This action showed his support for Black Lives Matter. It was inspired by American football player Colin Kaepernick. Since then, Lukaku and other players in Europe have continued to take a knee to protest racism.
