Everton manager Roberto Martinez has said there is no problem over striker Romelu Lukaku's future after comments from the player's new agent.
On Friday, Raiola gave an interview to a Belgian newspaper in which he said: "If we had met each other earlier, he wouldn't have played for Everton. "We will see what happens in the summer, but the Everton directors don't have to think Rom will play there for the rest of his career."Martinez said: "He is an agent that has worked just a short period of time with a new client. For whatever reason, he needs to make those comments."I am sure every agent will have some sort of comments about his clients. I am not going to get involved talking about an agent."He has an incredible talent and at 21 he has a long-term contract. For me, there is not an issue."
"I always speak with Rom and all the players about those situations. Rom made the decision of changing his agent. He is entitled to do that. It is a personal decision.
"Romelu is a very important player for us. As a football club we showed an incredible respect and integrity in the way we conducted our decisions about him and his career and we will carry on doing that."
