It’s no secret that Romelu Lukaku has not been in touch with his father, former professional Roger Lukaku, for years following his divorce from his mother. The latter tries to mend the broken bridges with an interview in La Dernière Heure.
“I hope this article opens the door again. I feel like one day things will be okay again, because the situation as it is now hurts me.”
Father Lukaku still follows his son’s career closely. “But at home in front of the TV. I don’t go to the stadium because I don’t want to disturb him.”
Lukaku Sr. described the match against Azerbaijan, in which Lukaku scored 4 goals in one half, as “his best match since the match against the United States in the 2014 World Cup.”
“If he had stayed on the field, he would have scored 6 or 7 goals. I also believe that if he continued as an international player after the European Championship, he would definitely score more than 100 international goals (he now has 83 goals, ed.).”
Roger Lukaku is still trying to exert some influence on Romelu through his other son, Jordan. Although he ignored his advice last summer.
“I thought he should have signed in Saudi Arabia with Al Hilal. How much would he have earned annually? 45 million euros? And that for 3 years?”
“Romelu is already 30 years old, he has two children. He can think for himself gradually. He just wants to continue playing football in Europe.”
