Transfer Market Juventus seeking Morata replacement

With a busy summer ahead with some of his most coveted players present in many of the circulating transfer rumours, Mino Raiola has ruled out a potential Serie A move for Everton forward Romelu Lukaku.

The 23-year-old had an outstanding season at Everton, scoring 25 goals in 46 matches, and his stock could only rise should he complete a successful European Championship with his country.

"No doubt Romelu [Lukaku] has the necessary skills to play in Italy," Raiola told Sport Wereld. "However, no Italian club can afford to sign him at the moment.

"He is too expensive for any Serie A club unless that Chinese investment group takes over AC Milan.

Both Juventus and Napoli were contemplating an attempt to sign the ex-Chelsea forward in case their star strikers Alvaro Morata and Gonzalo Higuain were on their way out this summer, but Raiola believes the Italian sides have no chance to win a bidding war against their fellow European powerhouses.

The outspoken agent believes only a handful European teams are able to meet his financial expectations, such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich or the top-tier Premier League clubs.

Raiola remarked his players competing at Euro 2016 should solely focus on the tournament until they finish their participation.

"Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Romelu [Lukaku] shouldn't be concerned about their future right now.

"Their duty is to perform well in the European Championship," he concluded.
