Romelu Lukaku's agent Mino Raiola claims that no team in Serie A could currently afford the 23-year-old Everton striker.

The agent of Everton striker Romelu Lukaku has claimed that no Italian side is capable of affording his client this summer.

Lukaku has been heavily linked with a move away from the Toffees following their disappointing campaign, although agent Mino Raiola has also suggested that Everton's new owners and change of manager has made a Goodison Park stay more likely.

However, he also hinted that a big-money move to one of the world's biggest clubs could interest the 23-year-old.

"Romelu certainly has the qualities to play in Italy but as the Italian landscape currently looks, there is no team that can afford him. He is too expensive for Serie A," Raiola told Belgian newspaper Sportwereld.

"Only a global club can pay him. The top clubs in England, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain and, of course, Bayern Munich."

Lukaku, who is currently competing at Euro 2016 with Belgium, scored 25 goals in 46 games for Everton last season.
