Lukaku is keen to return to Goodison Park on a permanent basis after a successful loan spell and the Toffees have prepared a deal worth around €25 million to sign the Belgium international. Everton have agreed two different deals with Chelsea for the potential signing of Romelu Lukaku. bBut Chelsea and Blues boss Jose Mourinho are yet to decide whether or not to let Lukaku leave Stamford Bridge permanently this summer. The striker could instead find himself on loan to Everton for a second season - his third consecutive campaign with another club since moving to Stamford Bridge after spending 2012-13 with West Brom.
Despite Lukaku scoring more than 25 goals over the last two seasons, Mourinho has made two significant signings to bolster his attacking options this summer. Diego Costa has moved to Chelsea from La Liga champions Atletico Madrid, while Didier Drogba has returned to the club to reunite with Mourinho.
Southampton will offer Morgan Schneiderlin the captaincy and a pay rise in a last ditch bid to prevent him joining the club's exodus of star players. The Saints are playing hardball over a fee for the midfielder despite strong interest from Arsenal and Tottenham, who value him at around €19m. New manager Ronald Koeman will tell Schneiderlin he is central to his plans for next season when the France international reports for pre-season training on Monday. Southampton are prepared to offer the 24-year-old several inducements, including the captaincy and better financial terms in an attempt to keep him for at least one more season. Schneiderlin is contracted to the south coast club for three more years.
