Everton scout admits Lukaku will leave and names two possible replacements
“We had meeting with AC Milan in their headquarters”, Jacomuzzi said. The meeting between Everton and AC Milan was exclusively reported by calciomercato.com yesterday.
“Lukaku will leave Everton in the summer and AC Milan can have some interesting players to replace him. Bacca, for example, could be a valuable option to replace him.”
Bacca, however, is not the only possible replacement for Lukaku that the Toffees have been monitoring: “Zapata’s physical skills are ideal for the Premier League, he’s a very interesting player who could be very good for us. The player, however, costs too much at the moment. [Napoli president] De Laurentiis wants € 25 million and that’s just too much.”
As for Ghoulam, another Everton target, Jacomuzzi said: “He won’t sign for us. He is going to sign a contract extension with Napoli, there should be an announcement soon.”
