Lukaku tells Everton he wants out but Chelsea will have to pay…

Romelu Lukaku has reportedly told Everton he wants to leave for Chelsea.

The Daily Mail is of the belief that the Belgian striker has informed his Toffees teammates he wants out at Goodison Park as his former club remains interested.

However, Everton will not sell for anything less than £75million after turning down a Chelsea bid of £68m.

Lukaku is confident he would make a massive impact in his second stint at Stamford Bridge but would only be keen to join the Blues if Diego Costa were to leave for Atletico Madrid.

Nevertheless, Antonio Conte will have to be extremely intent on signing Lukaku given the enormous price tag of the 23-year-old.
