Everton are adamant that Romelu Lukaku won’t leave Goodison Park for less than £100m.
According to a report in The Sun the club won’t be dictated to selling at a lower price with Manchester United and Chelsea eyeing up the striker.
Despite promising reports over Christmas Lukaku has resisted attempts to get him onto a new deal even though there are still two years left on his current contract.
While both Chelsea and Manchester United are keen on the striker his record against top clubs and lack of Champions League experience is unlikely to encourage bids of £100m.
That could lead to a difficult situation through the summer as the transfer merry-go-round gets underway with a number of strikers expected to be on the move.
The only possible way around the £100m fee would be a player swap with Wayne Rooney and Tammy Abraham both linked with moves to Goodison in the summer.
