Mino Raiola claims “no-one can afford Romelu Lukaku in Italy” after mentioning “talk” of the Everton striker possibly joining Juventus over the summer.
Lukaku revealed a fortnight ago that Juve were keen on signing him before they eventually plumped for Gonzalo Higuain, but Raiola doubts the Bianconeri had the financial muscle to land his client, even after selling Paul Pogba to Manchester United.

“We are talking, yes it is possible that he could stay,” he told the Daily Mail.
“This year the message was clear he was not for sale and he is really happy there at the moment. We are happy with what the club is doing now, we will see how the season goes.
“I spoke with him after his hat-trick against Sunderland. I said you were rubbish, you should have scored six!
“There was talk of Juventus but no-one can afford him in Italy. Outside of England, realistically the only clubs that can afford him are Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Real Madrid.”
