Everton to tell Lukaku he is not for sale

Everton will tell Romelu Lukaku that he will not be sold this summer, according to Paul Joyce of the Express.

After constant speculation over the striker’s future, the club will dig their heels in and are reluctant to let the striker leave this summer. The Blues are said to have placed a £75million price tag on his head to ward off any interest from clubs competing in the Champions League.

Now, Lukaku looks set to feature under new Toffees boss Ronald Koeman, who will look to take Everton back into Europe in his first season in charge. It looked increasingly unlikely that Romelu would be an Everton player come the end of the summer due to his comments on international duty.

The forward gave continuous hints that he wanted away from the Goodison club, but officials were given hope when his agent Mino Raiola backtracked on his previous comments suggesting “something has changed at Everton”.

Now, Lukaku will have talks with the club after he returns from his summer holiday. After being questioned over his future following Belgium’s exit from the European Championships, Romelu explained that he first needed talk to the club.
