Romelu Lukaku could eventually become most-expensive player on planet
Manchester United new boy Romelu Lukaku is really competitive with Paul Pogba
As things stand, Paul Pogba is most expensive player ever at £89millionPA:Press Association
But that fee could be set to rise as high as £90m with add-ons.
And ESPN report the two clauses for which the Toffees would receive payments of £7.5m are very “achievable”.
Should United pay the full amount, it would surpass the £89m they paid Juventus for Paul Pogba last summer — which is the current world record transfer fee.
Old Trafford chief executive Ed Woodward has regularly negotiated deals with several bonus payments.
The Ligue 1 champions will be due further fees should he earn 25 France caps and earn a nomination for the Ballon d’Or.
