Romelu Lukaku Mourns Father Roger Lukaku’s Death at 58

Napoli and Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku is mourning the death of his father, Roger Lukaku, who passed away at the age of 58.

The loss comes at a challenging period for the forward, who is also recovering from an injury.

In a deeply emotional gesture, Lukaku cleared his Instagram page, leaving only a tribute dedicated to his late father. His message read:

“Thank you for teaching me everything I know. I’m forever grateful and appreciate you. Life will never be the same. Protecting and guiding me like no one else could. I won’t be the same. The pain and tears are flowing big time, but God will give me the strength to get myself back together.”

Lukaku, who was instrumental in Napoli’s recent title-winning run, has received widespread support from fans and the wider football community as he copes with both personal grief and injury.

Roger Lukaku, a former professional footballer, was a key influence on his son’s career, with Romelu often crediting him as his greatest inspiration both on and off the pitch.
