Ronald Koeman - Romelu Lukaku will not sign new Everton deal.

Romelu Lukaku has told Everton that he will not be signing a new contract with the club amid rumours of a potential transfer, according to Ronald Koeman.

Lukaku – the Premier League’s leading goalscorer with 23 goals – has a contract with Everton until 2019 but his future at Goodison Park has been the subject of speculation since last summer.

The Belgian international has been heavily linked with a move back to former club Chelsea and, while Koeman had previously been optimistic that the 23-year-old would agree terms on an extension on Merseyside, the Dutchman has now indicated that this won’t be the case.

Speaking at his press-conference on Thursday Koeman revealed: “He told me he won’t sign a new contract.”

Lukaku – who has been nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award – has already decided on the move he wants to make in the summer, according to former teammate and Chelsea legend Didier Drogba.

Those suggestions have not sat well with Koeman though as the manager was asked about Lukaku’s plans in an interview with Sky Sports, to which he responded: “No [I don’t know where Lukaku wants to go]. Maybe I wait for the call from Drogba to tell me where he wants to go.”
