Everton’s majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri has told talkSPORT that Romelu Lukaku’s decision to reject a new contract is ‘not an issue’.
Stunning reports on Tuesday tipped the Belgian hitman to be the subject of a big summer transfer war after turning down the offer of a five-year deal worth more than £100,000 a week to stay at Goodison Park.
The news came as shock to the club and its fans, who were assured by agent Mino Raiola the deal to tie up their star man’s long-term future was “99.99999999 per cent done”.
