Footballer Romelu Lukaku is angry
with his club side Everton because they refused to pay his fare of £6500 from
international duty with Belgium making him and teammate Kevin Mirallas to fork
out £13000 on a private jet flight back to England from Cyprus after Tuesday
night’s World Cup qualifying win.
Lukaku is reportedly angry because
Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Burnley - all agreed to stump
up the £6,500 cost per head for the flight for their players, as they had
league games on Saturday but Everton ditched him and Mirallas because their own
league game was on Monday.
According to Mirror UK;
Boss Ronald Koeman gave his squad
Wednesday off then began full preparations for the trip to Wearside on
Thursday, and club chiefs did not feel it was necessary to fork out £13,000 to
bring their Belgians back early.
Lukaku, who scored his first two
goals of the season in the 3-0 win in Nicosia, did not see it that way and is
irritated by the club’s stance.
A source said:
“The Belgium players at clubs in
the north-west organised a private jet to fly them home from Cyprus, to get
back quicker. All the other clubs agreed to pay the £6,500 cost for their
players, and Lukaku wasn’t happy when Everton told him they wouldn’t pay.
Mirallas was in the same position, and the two of them ended up paying for the
flights themselves.”
