Romelu Lukaku Sparks Transfer Speculation Amid Stellar Season
As March arrives, Romelu Lukaku continues to shine for Everton. The Belgian striker of Congolese origin (DRC) has already netted 20 goals across all competitions in 31 appearances this season, including 18 goals in 27 Premier League matches. His consistent performances have not gone unnoticed, drawing the attention of several top European clubs.
According to the Daily Mirror, Bayern Munich is closely monitoring Lukaku’s progress. The Bavarian side reportedly scouted the Everton forward during his recent match against Aston Villa. With Robert Lewandowski expected to depart at the end of the season, possibly for Real Madrid, Bayern is already planning for a long-term replacement, and Lukaku’s combination of strength, pace, and finishing ability has made him a prime candidate.
Interest in Lukaku is not limited to Germany. Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is reportedly keen on bringing the Belgian striker back to Stamford Bridge, while Manchester United are also said to be exploring a potential move. Everton, however, will be tough to sway. The striker is under contract until 2019, and any club looking to secure his services would likely have to meet the Toffees’ valuation, reportedly around €40 million.
With his reputation on the rise and multiple European giants circling, Lukaku could soon be at the center of one of the Premier League’s most intriguing transfer sagas, making the final months of the 2015-16 season not just crucial for Everton, but also for his future.
