Sorry folks but we can't just ignore it. Another day, another Romelu Lukaku chat eluding to a future away from Everton.

Quotes attributed to the Blues striker says he will speak to Farhad Moshiri “out of courtesy” which is nice of him considering he's got three years remaining on his contract, but he “wants to win titles.”

As ECHO columnist Barry Horne pointed out last week , if the Belgian striker does move on then there are no losers. He's used Everton and they've used him. The Blues have been unable to challenge at the top end of the division in a way that a man of Lukaku's talents would have hoped for and there could be a parting of the ways for a massive fee.

But whether it's Lukaku, his father or his agent shooting their mouth off, there's a right and a wrong way of doing things.

In the Daily Star, Lukaku said: “I’m at a point where I have to make a good career choice. We have a new investor at Everton, and out of courtesy I will listen to what he has to say.

“But I have my own ideas in mind. I want to win titles.

“I have had a very good season, but it is time for me to write myself a CV. That is why I play football.

“I get that trophy-winning mindset from Chelsea.

“People in Belgium don’t see me playing for Everton, but I am respected in England by fans, managers and experts like Jamie Carragher, Graeme Souness and Thierry Henry.”

Meanwhile in Italy, Corriere dello Sport say Inter defender Jeison Murillo is set to snub Everton in the hope of signing for a 'bigger club'.

The managerless Blues are apparently in the market for the Colombian international along with Premier League rivals West Ham United and Stoke City but they're all set to be left empty-handed.

Murillo, 23, who is described as fast, physically imposing and a good reader of the game, moved to Serie A from Granada in an 8million Euros deal last summer.
