Football transfer rumours: Everton demanding £100m for Romelu Lukaku? via The Guardian
Today’s fluff is going up
One hundred million pounds. In currently-being-replaced British £1 coins it would weigh 95 tonnes and a single stack of them would be 196 miles high. Melt them down and you’d need a 125,246-litre vat in which to hold the molten liquid. It’s a lot of pounds. Coincidentally, it is also the amount of money Everton are asking for Romelu Lukaku, presumably in an effort to weed out any knaves, rogues or charlatans who might try wasting the club’s time with frivolous summer bids. The Liverpool Echo have revealed that £100m is the fee Manchester United, Chelsea or anyone else who fancies taking the Belgian striker off Everton’s hands will have to pay and while a world record fee might seem rather excessive, the club have the whip hand as Lukaku has two years left on his contract and they can force him to stay on Merseyside if nobody is prepared to match their valuation.
Elsewhere in that particular neck of the woods, Liverpool’s longest serving player may have to find a new home if he proves surplus to Jürgen Klopp’s requirements. Absolutely everybody likes Lucas, who says he’d like to stay on at the club despite the limited playing opportunities coming his way and one suspects his best chance of being offered a new deal will centre around the likelihood that nobody in the club’s hierarchy will want to be the guy or gal who tells him he is no longer wanted and has to go. “There is no doubt about my commitment to Liverpool, I just need to wait until the end of the season, work hard and make a decision together with the club,” said the player. “I have been here long enough and if the time comes for me to go somewhere else I think I will leave with the feeling that I did everything I could. I am getting to the stage of my career where I think I can help a lot, off the pitch of course, but on the pitch as well.” Should anyone at Liverpool prove cruel enough to shoot Bambi’s mum, Internazionale may revive the interest they showed in the Brazilian midfielder in January.
