'If we had met each other earlier, he wouldn’t have played for Everton,' said Raiola. 'Maybe somewhere else, maybe he would still be at Chelsea. I want to be clear: Romelu is a better striker than Diego Costa and could have done the same as the Spaniard did this season. But the Chelsea directors had decided to buy another star than giving confidence to one of their young boys'.
Raiola went on to say Juventus wanted to sign the player last summer, before he joined Everton in a permanent deal for a club record fee of £28 million, and that he will eventually leave the Toffees.
'We will see what happens in the summer, but the Everton directors don’t have to think Rom will play there for the rest of his career. Later on, he’ll play for one of world’s best teams: PSG, Manchester City, Manchester United or Bayern Munich. Big names, but nothing is impossible as Rom has great potential'. The striker himself said in February that he 'just wants to grow as a player and eventually arrive at a top club again', irking Everton fans.
It appears Lukaku is not long for Goodison Park. The agent, in fairness, owes Liverpool fans a good turn after saddling the club with Balotelli.
