Romelu Lukaku (30) is no longer represented by Roc Nation Sports, several international media confirm. According to, among others theTelegraph the American sports agency itself has cut ties with the AS Roma striker. Lukaku’s behavior last summer is reportedly the reason behind the split. The Belgian conducted negotiations with Juventus without Roc knowing about it.

Roc tried to loan Lukaku to Internazionale for the second year in a row. While Chelsea actually only wanted to sell the striker. Because of the good ties with Tedd Boehly, Roc convinced the Londoners. However, Lukaku secretly negotiated with Juventus.

Ultimately, Lukaku put an end to both transfers. After he also rejected a Saudi offer, Roc had had enough. It arranged one more transfer – the rental to AS Roma – before pulling the plug on the collaboration. This means that Roc, a subdivision of rapper Jay-Z’s entertainment company Roc Nation, loses one of its showpieces.

Roc Nation Sports also has Kevin De Bruyne, Vinícius Júnior and Lukaku’s brother Jordan in its stable. Lukaku has been represented by the agency since 2018. Before that, the late Mino Raiola represented the interests of the 110-time international coach the Red Devils. Lukaku is still under contract with Chelsea until mid-2026.
