Reports grow on possible Everton transfer, this time for January

 

Belgian star Romelu Lukaku is being linked with a move away from Everton again, with Juventus reportedly keen on signing him next summer.

In fact, there have been reports claiming Juventus scouts have been closely monitoring the progress of Lukaku, and were present at the match between Everton and Southampton.

Juventus, however, might not be the only interested club in the 23-year-old. According to Le 10 Sport, Paris-Saint Germain are also keeping close tabs on Lukaku.

Le 10 Sport say Paris-Saint Germain are looking for a striker to support Edinson Cavani, and have been planning on possibly signing Lukaku in the January transfer window itself.

Le 10 Sport, however, admit Juventus could take the lead in the race to sign Lukaku in the coming weeks. Lukaku will have just another couple of seasons left on his contract after the current campaign, but it’s a bit unlikely Everton will entertain the idea of selling him in January.

If Lukaku is to go then it’s better for Everton if there’s widespread interest, as they can then push the price higher. At both Juventus and PSG, Lukaku would likely be asked to pay the support act and that’s probably not what the Belgian would be looking for.
