Hold on a moment, Chelsea fans; Everton have not abandoned hopes of keeping striker Romelu Lukaku and will open negotiations with agent Mino Raiola in an attempt to persuade him to stay at Goodison Park, the Express reports.
One of the most enduring transfer sagas of the summer has seen former Chelsea striker Lukaku repeatedly linked with a return to Stamford Bridge, but Everton are refusing to budge from their stance that he cannot leave for anything less than their £75 million valuation.
With Chelsea reportedly unwilling to pay that price, Everton have decided it's time to talk to their star player.
The Belgium international has three years remaining on his current contract, but Everton are poised to offer new terms and improved pay, according to the Express.
Player exchange to tempt Toffees?
The Lukaku saga continues in more ways than one, the Express says, explaining that Chelsea are hopeful they can smooth the path to a transfer by offering a couple of players as part of a deal.
Who might those players be? Goalkeeper Asmir Begovic and striker Loic Remy, both of whom would fit neatly into Everton's desire to sign another goalkeeper (Begovic) and their need for a new striker should you know who depart (Remy).
With Chelsea having reportedly warned Everton that it's simply a case of "now or never" when their next bid for Lukaku comes in -- there won't be another if it is turned down -- they now seem likely to give the Toffees something else to think about.
