    If they get a hard offer for £80M id imagine they'd sell to anybody......except Liverpool.

    Spain

    Barca have Suarez
    Real have Morata
    Atletico have Griezemann

    Italy

    Juve have Higuain

    France

    PSG have Cavani


    Those are the only clubs in those countries that could afford Lukaku.

    If he leaves Everton, for me, it will be for City or Chelsea (depending on who loses their striker, Aguero and Costa are both rumoured to be off soon), or it will be to China if he seduced by the bucks.

    I could see PSG having a sniff. Cavani is over 30 now.

    Monaco could afford him too.

    Well i did say on the Everton board, PSG may be the only ****ing club insane enough to pay £80m for him.
    They paid £50m for David luiz so.....

    It was a good faith release clause which means the player can talk to a club who meet the valuation agreed but the selling club does not have to sell. The PFA looked at the contract and said that the clause was not an automatic release clause.

    Just a bad case of Suarezitis I think. Happens at the mention of his name or any story, reference or report linked to him. Symptoms include an uncontrollable urge to rant, rave, swear whilst simultaneously and equally uncontrollably, uttering the words 'dirty' and 'cheat' as often as possible <ok>

    Lukaku is only worth what teams are willing to pay......He is not interested in that side he is interested in how much teams are willing to up his weekly wage.....

    Everton have money though. He want's CL football, Everton could offer him 200k and he'd still want a move (I think!).

    I reckon they'll get 50-60m for him and he'll stay in England

    He's happy with the money, it's the release clause value that's the issue.

    His agent is arguably the biggest and snidest in the game.

    We'll see how it pans out

    well, he signed his last extension in 2014, so he can buy himself out of his contract as per the Webster rule,

    If he does that it's up to him how much his transfer fee will be, and where he'll go.

    I personally think he will try to test the waters with PL clubs first.
    One of City or Chelsea will be losing their lead striker this summer. Either Aguero or Costa is going.
    Whichever club loses their striker, I think will go in for Lukaku (or both clubs if Aguero and Costa both **** off).

    Aye.
    If he was happy at Everton, why would the release clause be an issue?
    He is after CL football.

    If he can bag himself his own Emoji and perhaps a snazzy new haircut, I imagine United will break the world record fee for him. Forget that his second touch is normally a tackle, marketing is king now ;)

    Annoyed with the press headlines today.

    The lad did a club approved press Q&A at Finch Farm and I've read the full transcript.

    Nothing wrong with a word of what he's said, but the rags have printed everything from him dissing Kane to him calling EFC, he did nothing of the sort.

    He was just being honest, I've got no issue with it.
