Everton transfer offer a ‘sure’ thing, not speculation says Belgian newspaper

 

Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad report on Tuesday that a Chinese offer for Romelu Lukaku isn’t just rumour, but rather a sure thing.

The Everton striker is one of five Belgium internationals to have received lucrative offers from China, but he’s simply not interested. Lukaku isn’t tempted by the money on offer in China, and his agent Mino Raiola has backed that up.

The clubs to have made the offers aren’t named and the amount put forward to tempt the players isn’t specified, but the Belgian newspaper believes the biggest stars, which Everton’s Lukaku is one of, would be paid more than Axel Witsel’s €18m a year if they make the move.

Lukaku has often spoken about his big ambitions in football and desire to play in the Champions League.

The 23 year old giving all that up for a mountain of gold was always unlikely, but Het Nieuwsblad says there’s been an effort to tempt him.
