Romelu Lukaku has revealed that he turned down the chance to join Juventus as he felt that Everton was the "perfect" club for him.
The Belgium international enjoyed a successful loan spell at Goodison Park in the 2013-14 season, and made his move permanent in the summer in a record-breaking £28m switch from Chelsea.
"I thought about Serie A and Juventus because they are a big club. But for me Everton was perfect," Lukaku told The People.
"I'm here and I'm happy. I don't regret any choices I've made. Everton was the best choice I could make as a young player who wants to progress and develop.
"This club is a good fit for me. They made so many efforts to get me. I feel at home here."
Lukaku has scored twice for the Toffees this season in the Premier League.
