According to the Express, Everton are set to offer striker Romelu Lukaku a new deal with £100,000-a-week wages, to fend off interest from Chelsea, Manchester United and Juventus.
Despite the fact that the trio of clubs mentioned are following Lukaku’s progression with an eager eye, the Daily Mail have reported that the Toffee’s are keen for the Belgian striker to stay at Goodison Park, and will pay whatever it takes.
Following Roberto Martinez’s sacking at Goodison Park, the Merseyside Club finally announced Ronald Koeman as the new manager, and this is something that could potentially influence Lukaku’s decision.
The former Chelsea striker isn’t the only star that Koeman wants to keep on Merseyside, as he is interested in having Ross Barkley and John Stones at the club next season too.
However, it’s been reported that the former Southampton manager has already written up a list of potential replacements for Lukaku, should he turn the offer down and depart.
Despite his poor opening performance for Belgium against Italy in the Euro’s, Lukaku knows where the net is. The former Anderlecht striker scored 18 goals in the Premier League last season, and 25 in all competitions.
