Belgian international centre-forward Romelu Lukaku, 33, has decided he wants to leave Fenerbahçe in January. He joined the club in August 2026 on a contract that runs until June 2027. The player has 135 caps and 94 goals for Belgium. It is reported that he is seeking a club where he can secure more playing time and be part of a healthy, ambitious sporting project. AS Monaco is said to be monitoring his situation. Everton is also considered a significant contender due to Lukaku's familiarity with the club and his desire for a Premier League return. Additionally, Atlanta United and New York City from the MLS have shown interest. The main issue for all interested clubs is Lukaku's substantial salary in Turkey, which he would have to reduce to make a transfer possible. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €6.00m. Fenerbahçe signed him for a base fee of €6 million in August 2026.
