Chelsea Transfer News: Latest on Romelu Lukaku Amid Everton Contract Rumours

Romelu Lukaku reportedly remains hopeful of getting a move back to Chelsea this summer, but Everton believe they can persuade him to stay at Goodison Park by offering him a new £135,000-a-week contract.

According to Simon Johnson in the Evening Standard, Lukaku remains "keen" on a return to the club he left for Everton in 2014 and Chelsea are prepared to offer £60 million plus Loic Remy for the Belgian striker.

The Toffees, though, are not open to selling Lukaku and claim they have yet to receive a bid from Chelsea, while they are now preparing to open talks with the 23-year-old's agent, Mino Raiola, over a new deal, added Johnson.
