Romelu Lukaku has cast fresh doubts over his long-term Everton future.
Negotiations over an improved five-year contract have been ongoing for several months, with the Blues striker’s agent claiming it was ‘99.99999999%’ finalised.
Mino Raiola previously alleged that Lukaku had ’99 per cent agreed’ to extending his stay at Goodison Park beyond the summer 2019 expiry of his current deal.
But Lukaku reportedly disputed those claims in an interview with Belgian media outlet Play Sports in the aftermath of Saturday’s 3-0 win over West Brom.
