Romelu Lukaku’s agent Mino Raiola says that his client and Everton have an understanding that will allow the Belgian striker to leave Goodison Park if the opportunity to move for the “good of his career” arises.
Lukaku became Everton’s most expensive player when he signed for around £28million from Chelsea in 2014, and he signed a five-year contract at that time.
However, speculation has risen over the last few days linking the 22-year-old with a move to French champions PSG, who look set to lose star man Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the summer.
Speaking to French radio station RMC, Raiola insisted that his client is happy at Goodison Park, but that Everton have suggested that they’d be willing to let him leave if the chance of a move arises.
With Roberto Martinez we had very honest and very amicable discussions and Roberto always said that the day that Lukaku wants to leave and it’s good for his career we’ll talk about it.
For the moment Lukaku is very happy at Everton. He chose to be there and also in his case we can’t talk about the transfer window already.
Raiola also spoke about the qualities of Lukaku, who has scored five Premier League goals in ten appearances this season. He said that it no suprise that teams are interested in signing his client due to his talent level.
We know that he’s an important player because he’s young, he’s strong, he can only get better and he can play for these top clubs because a No. 9 with his characteristics is hard to find.
