Mino Raiola admits striker should never have joined Toffees
Everton striker Romelu Lukaku will be leaving the club in the near-future, according to his new agent.
The Belgium international is now represented by Mino Raiola, one of the biggest agents in football, and he has already stated that his new client should have never left Chelsea for The Toffees.
In a recent interview discussing his new client, Raiola admitted that it was a mistake for Lukaku to swap Stamford Bridge for Goodison Park and he then stated that he won’t be in Merseyside for long.
“If we had met each other earlier, he wouldn’t have played for Everton,” Raiola. “Maybe somewhere else, maybe he would still be at Chelsea.
“I want to be clear: Romelu is a better striker than Diego Costa and could have done the same as the Spaniard did this season.
“But the Chelsea directors had decided to buy another star than giving confidence to one of their young boys.”
Raiola then added: “Juventus was interested in him last summer, but I want to be clear: I don’t think one of the Italian teams can pay that amount of money for one player. It’s almost impossible. We have never said he would leave at the end of this season.
“We will see what happens in the summer, but the Everton directors don’t have to think Rom will play there for the rest of his career.
“Later on, he’ll play for one of world’s best teams: PSG, Manchester City, Manchester United of Bayern Munich. Big names, but nothing is impossible as Rom has great potential.”
