The coverage of Romelu Lukaku’s situation at Everton doesn’t change much from country to country. Everyone knows he could be leaving the club, but it’s too early to say who he could be joining.
Italian newspaper Tuttosport has an article about the striker today, mostly saying that next weekend’s game against Liverpool should be the player’s last derby with the club.
It’s claimed that Everton demanded €75m last summer, but considering the 21 Premier League goals he’s scored this season, this price should be raised in the next transfer window.
Agent Mino Raiola’s preference would be to keep the player in the Premier League, according to Tuttosport, with Chelsea and Manchester United as the main options. But there obstacles in the way of both potential deals.
There’s nothing hugely new from Tuttosport, but it’s increasingly clear that the top clubs around Europe know Everton won’t be easy to deal with over a Lukaku transfer.
Everton aren’t desperate for the money and Lukaku has a contract until June 2019. if the striker leaves, it will be on Everton’s terms.
