ROMELU LUKAKU
TIPPED TO COST: £100m
INTERESTED CLUB: Chelsea
As one supporter appropriately said: 'Did Dr Evil put this price tag on him?'
Lukaku
is a talent but one worth breaking the world record transfer fee for?
Everton are after £100m for their striker this summer and that could be a
stumbling block.
The 24-year-old, who
is represented by Mino Raiola, wants to leave Everton amid interest from
his former employers Chelsea while Manchester United are also admirers.
Lukaku's preference is Chelsea, where he
feels he has unfinished business. His attitude has been criticised
before, however, and few fans would want their club to spend a tenth of a
billion on him.
'Staying
at Everton is no longer an option for next season,' said Lukaku, who
has not been shy in speaking out about his situation all season.
Everton
are in a strong position. Lukaku is contracted there until 2019 and
know he wants out, which is why they've named their extortionate price.
Talks with Chelsea are ongoing.
WORTH IT? No
SUPER STAT:
In 2016-17 Romelu Lukaku (25) became the first Everton player since
Gary Lineker (30) in 1985-86 to score 20+ league goals in a season.
