Reported interest from Juventus did not persuade Romelu Lukaku to push to leave Everton, but talk of a new contract may be premature.
Romelu Lukaku claims he opted against a move to Juventus in order to stay at Everton.
Belgium international Lukaku joined Everton from Chelsea in 2014 for a reported club record fee of £28million after an impressive loan spell at Goodison Park.
The 23-year-old has made 130 appearances in all competitions for the Merseyside club and scored 61 goals, but was linked with an exit during the previous transfer window.
Chelsea were reportedly interested in re-signing the Belgian, while Juve were also touted as a potential destination.
