According to a report out of England, Everton are demanding £65 million ($92.2 million) for their star striker Romelu Lukaku.
Romelu Lukaku has been one of the most prolific strikers in the Premier League this season. The Belgian international has an incredible 15 goals and five assists in 22 league games for the Toffees. Lukaku has been so impressive on the pitch that his performances have attracted interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
However, according to a report from English outlet The Sun, Everton will not let the 22-year-old go cheaply. The Sun claim that the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester City, Manchester United, Paris St-Germain, and even his former club Chelsea have inquired about the striker and are looking to ink the youngster for years to come.
It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out, but don’t expect the Premier League outfit to let their star go during the current transfer window. Everton currently sit at 11th in the league table, with 29 points from 22 matches. Despite being in the bottom half of the table, they are only a few points out of a European spot for next season and will not want to have their team weakened in the middle of the campaign.
Along with Jamie Vardy from Leicester City, Lukaku leads the English top flight with most goals on the season. Although he is still just 22-years-old, the Belgian has a plethora of experience playing at both the domestic and international level. He has become a staple for the country ranked No. 1 in the world by FIFA, and is already in his fifth Premier League season.
