Raiola said of the talks: "They are good, talking to the club in a good spirit, so we're very hopeful, there's no problems on the way that I foresee for now.

"I never talk about money or numbers, etc and a contract is not only made of numbers. Obviously the numbers are important but I don't see any problems. We agree, it's a question of putting the details on paper.

"I've said it's not only about money, it's a combination of a contract. With Everton we have 99.9 per cent reached terms."

Lukaku netted 28 times for club and country last term and Raiola admitted that the 23-year-old wants to play for one of the world's top clubs at some point in his career.

Raiola told : "If Romelu is strong enough to move on in the next couple of years we will talk to Everton about it. Everton is going through a transition from a club that was going to the Europa League, it's now more ambitious.
