There's little secret that Romelu Lukaku sees a future for himself away from Goodison Park. The player himself has insinuated it, his father has said it repeatedly, and his agent Mino Raiola will obviously be excited by the possibility of a big summer move.

Lukaku's father Roger would prefer Manchester United or Bayern Munich, as he's told the Belgian media at least twice, but Roger thinks Raiola would prefer Juventus. It's not clear what Romelu himself would prioritise, but he may have the choice to return to Chelsea.

The reliable Kristof Terreur of Belgian newspaper HLN had an interesting article published in the early hours of this morning. HLN's piece claims that Chelsea have opened talks with Everton over the possible signing of Lukaku, and also defender John Stones.

Everton would want a fee in the region of €80m for Lukaku, which is more than Chelsea want to spend, so talks will prove very difficult indeed. HLN say the Belgian isn't the only target for Chelsea, with Gonzalo Higuain and Alvaro Morata also named.
