Agent: 'Romelu Lukaku in talks with Everton over new deal'

Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku is discussing a new contract with Everton, confirms the 23-year-old's agent Mino Raiola.

Mino Raiola, the agent of Everton striker Romelu Lukaku, has revealed that 'he is in talks' with the Belgian international's Premier League club over a new contract.

Lukaku was strongly linked with a move away from Goodison Park in the summer transfer window, but is believed to have rejected interest from Juventus and former club Chelsea to remain in Merseyside.

The 23-year-old has scored four times in five Premier League appearances for Everton this season, and Raiola has said that the Belgian "could" extend his contract despite a host of interest.

"We are talking, yes it is possible that he could stay. This year the message was clear that he was not for sale and he is really happy there at the moment," Raiola told the Daily Mail.

"We are happy with what the club is doing now, we will see how the season goes. I spoke with him after his hat-trick against Sunderland (last Monday night). I said you were rubbish, you should have scored six!

"There was talk of Juventus but no-one can afford him in Italy. Outside of England, realistically the only clubs that can afford him are Paris Saint Germain, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Real Madrid."

Lukaku joined Everton from Chelsea in 2013, initially on loan, before making the deal permanent in the summer of 2014. In 132 appearances for the Toffees, the forward has scored 65 goals.
