Romelu Lukaku will remain at Everton until next summer and a decision will not be made on his Chelsea future until next June, according to his agent.
The
20-year-old striker has been an instant hit at Goodison Park at the
start of a second consecutive season-long loan from Stamford Bridge.
Reports
have suggested that Lukaku could go on loan to Juventus in January but
this is firmly denied by the player's camp, who echo Everton manager
Roberto Martinez in insisting there is no release clause in the contract
that took him from Chelsea to Merseyside.
Lukaku's long-time agent, Christophe Henrotay, told Goal: It is impossible that Romelu joins Juventus in January for two reasons
- he is on loan at Everton until the end of the season and, for him,
there is nothing in his mind about changing clubs.
There is no
clause. It is a season-long loan. He chose to join Everton, he wanted to
play for Everton and score goals for them and will not go anywhere in
January. He is concentrating on his form and the manager is happy with
him.
In the summer it will be a decision between the club Chelsea, me and Romelu over his future. He has two years left on his
contract in June, so there is no decision about a transfer right now.Henrotay,
who has managed Lukaku's affairs since the Belgian progressed through
the ranks at Anderlecht, dispelled rumours claiming that the player is
now represented by super-agent Mino Raiola, whose clients include Zlatan
Ibrahimovic and Mario Balotelli.
This rumour is not correct, the agent explained. I have heard that it comes from a fake Twitter account.
