“If we had met each other earlier, he wouldn’t have played for Everton”, said Raiola, who became Lukaku’s agent in March and immediately suggested Juventus should make a move for his client.

Romelu Lukaku’s agent, Mino Raiola, has revealed to RMC that Roberto Martinez told him the striker can leave the Goodison Park club if a big enough offer is submitted. “And Roberto Martinez always said that the day that Lukaku wants to leave and it’s good for his career we’ll talk about it”.
The Mail claim that Lukaku has been linked with a £40m move to Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint Germain, and Raiola has claimed that the deal can now go ahead with the manager’s blessing. I’m not going to entertain any rumours or speculation.
“What the agent said is their own prerogative”.
“With Romelu, it has been a joy to see him growing and developing from a very young age. I feel Romelu is in a flawless moment to take even more responsibility on the pitch”.
“It’s important that Rom can keep fulfilling that role, keep enjoying his football and being very important for the team”.
While his debut season as an Everton player didn’t quite match the highs of his initial loan sell, Lukaku has rediscovered his top form this season and has five goals in ten Premier League matches.
