Everton eyeing potential €28m Lukaku replacement
Everton have gone into pole position for the signing of Columbia international Luis Muriel according to TuttoMercatoWeb.
The Sampdoria striker enjoyed a fine season just gone and notched 13 goals with another 9 assists in only 33 appearances including some spectacular strikes.
According to the report, Everton are looking to jump ahead of Sevilla to try and sign the 26 year old and are prepared to meet his €28m release clause which they will look to pay over 3 years.
Everton are on the verge of announcing striker Sandro Ramirez and Henry Onyekuru but are looking at replacements for Romelu Lukaku should the striker leave the club this summer.
Would Muriel be a good signing for Everton?

Never heard of the guy! Nearer 1 in 3 isn’t that great, 17 in 33 games would have been good! Guy at Feyenoord much better, Danish international, 28 he scored! COYB’S
Jorgenson the dudes name, ace player! We ought to go for him, not the Columbian!!
