Mino Raiola has been involved in three blockbuster deals for
his clients in the 2016 summer transfer window.
He already took Zlatan
Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan to Manchester United and has sealed a
record-breaking transfer deal for Paul Pogba, as the Frenchman makes a stunning
return to his former club.
The Italian super agent could yet be involved in another
heavyweight deal in the coming days for his client, the Everton striker Romelu
Lukaku, who is keen on a return to Chelsea.
Lukaku joined Chelsea from Anderlecht in 2011 for a fee
reported to be around €12m. He made only 10 appearances for the Blues in three
seasons but impressed during loan spells with West Bromwich Albion and Everton,
where he scored 17 and 15 goals respectively in consecutive seasons.
The Belgian joined Everton on a permanent transfer in 2014
for a club-record fee of £28m.
Since then, he has scored 45 goals in the last two seasons
for the Toffees, including 25 goals in 45 games in all competitions in 2015-16,
and has proved himself as a top striker in the Premier League.
Lukaku is keen on a return to Stamford Bridge, according to
Evening Standard, with Chelsea willing to offer £60m plus striker Loic Remy to secure
his services.
Everton are reluctant to let go of one of their key players
this easily and insist they haven’t received any formal bid for the player. The
Merseyside club are planning to offer him a pay rise to £135,000-a-week to
convince him to stay put but Chelsea are offering a better deal.
Raiola could play a key role here. He is reportedly in the UK
at the moment and wants to sit down with Lukaku to figure out the best possible
solution for the striker. Everton will also hold talks with Raiola this week to
clarify the situation.
