Romelu Lukaku has decided to reject any offer from his current club. The Belgian striker doesn’t want to renew his contract with Everton, so the club will need to sell him in the summer transfer window. It’s a good opportunity for all the big clubs, including Real Madrid.
His current contract with the Toffees expires in 2019, so there is plenty of time to reach an agreement. However, the footballer has decided to reject every offer from his current club and find a new team with the possibility of winning titles. According to the British media, Manchester United or Real Madrid could be the options, The Sun informs.
His only experience with a big club was a failure. Chelsea bought him in 2011 from Anderlecht paying €22M. He arrived very young to the South-West London club, so he was given on loan to West Bromwich Albion. With the Baggies, Lukaku lived a very successful season, scoring 17 goals. He went back to Chelsea, but was given again on loan to Everton, where he scored 15 goals in his first season. So, overall, he played 10 games for Chelsea in the Premier League without finding the net.
At Goodison Park the story is very different. Everton paid €35M in 2014 to Chelsea for his transfer and he’s been the Toffees star since then. In the current season he’s scored 19 goals, one net more than the last season. Therefore, Lukaku has become one of the best strikers in the Premier League, and desired for every single club in the islands.
The transfer will be tough though. Everton paid a lot of money to Chelsea and they won’t sell the Belgian striker for less money. Besides, if the relationship between the club and the player keeps going bad, Everton could be reluctant to sell him in the summer transfer window.
Lukaku could be a good option for the Real Madrid attacking line. Benzema is very irregular this season and even Sergio Ramos has scored more goals than the French striker in La Liga. Álvaro Morata is shining when he comes out from the bench but he might want to change team at the end of the current season. So Lukaku’s option could be another alternative for the attacking line.
