Romelu Lukaku will sign a new, long-term contract at Everton, according to agent Mino Raiola.
Lukaku joined Everton on loan in 2013, moving to the club on a permanent deal for £28million a year later.
He scored his 60th Premier League goal for the club – he is now their joint-leading scorer in PL history – in the 2-0 win over Sunderland on Saturday, and is now closing in on a new deal at Goodison Park.
Lukaku’s current contract expires in summer 2019, but Raiola confirmed that he would sign a new deal in the near future.
When asked by talkSPORT whether the contract was done, the agent replied: “99.99999999%.”
He continued: “We are signing a longer contract, so that is for sure the intention [to stay].
“In football, contracts are not there to be going until the end sometimes, but there is always two parties in the deal.
“If everybody thinks it is better to move on, then that will be done at that moment. But for this moment, he is signing a contract __with Everton.”
