Everton promised Romelu Lukaku he could leave this summer, claims Mino Raiola
Wednesday 31 May 2017 14:18, UK
Romelu Lukaku's agent Mino Raiola says Everton have promised the striker he can leave this summer if "certain clubs" made the Toffees a suitable offer.
Lukaku continues to be linked with a move away from Goodison Park after scoring 26 goals in all competitions for Everton last season.
The 24-year-old had looked close to signing a new contract earlier in the campaign - a deal Raiola claimed was "99.9 per cent" close to completion - but the Belgium international has refused to put pen to paper amid reported interest from Chelsea and Juventus.
Raiola insists no clubs have yet made a formal approach for Lukaku but admits the striker could leave before the end of the summer window.
"Lukaku had a promise that if certain clubs came this summer that he could leave this summer," Raiola told talkSPORT.
