Raiola: Lukaku intention is to stay at Everton

Romelu Lukaku's agent Mino Raiola has revealed that the striker is all but certain to extend his stay at Everton.

Lukaku has established himself as one of the best strikers in Europe since joining Everton from Chelsea a couple of seasons ago and the Belgian international is currently wanted by a number of top clubs across Europe.

Despite expressing his desire to leave in the past, Lukaku has remained loyal to Everton and now Raiola has confirmed to talkSPORT that the 23-year-old is on the verge of signing a new contract with the Merseyside based outfit.

When asked about Lukaku's contract, Raiola said: "Yes. 99.99999999!

"We are signing a longer contract, so that is for sure the intention [to stay].

"In football, contracts are not there to be going until the end sometimes, but there is always two parties in the deal. If everybody thinks it is better to move on, then that will be done at that moment.

"But for this moment, he is signing a contract with Everton."
