Sport nationEverton Eye Discounted Deal for Proven Goal-Scorer Romelu Lukaku
Everton is reportedly eyeing a summer move for Romelu Lukaku, whose time at Roma will come to an end at the close of this season. The Toffees are in dire need of a reliable goal-scorer, having struggled to find the back of the net this season. Lukaku, with his impressive record of 87 goals in 166 games for Everton, could be the answer to their prayers.
The Belgian international is set to become a free agent after his contract with Roma expires, and Everton is keen to capitalize on the situation. According to recent reports, Chelsea, Lukaku’s parent club, is willing to sell him for a significantly reduced price. The Blues paid £97.5 million for him in 2021, but are now willing to accept less than £30 million, a staggering 50% discount.
Lukaku’s wages could be a stumbling block, as he currently earns a substantial amount. However, Everton might be able to negotiate a middle ground if all parties are willing.
The 29-year-old striker has had an injury-plagued season, but his ability to bully opponents and score goals is still undeniable. With Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s injury woes and Neal Maupay’s struggles, Everton desperately needs a reliable goal-scorer. Lukaku’s return could be a game-changer for the Toffees.
It’s worth noting that Everton and Aston Villa have already been linked to Lukaku, and the summer transfer window promises to be an exciting one. Everton fans will be keeping a close eye on developments, hoping to see their former hero back in blue.
