The father of Romelu Lukaku says his son must consider leaving Everton in the summer for either Manchester United or Bayern Munich.

Roger Lukaku said his son is ready to move on.

Lukaku joined the Toffees in 2014 for £28 million after failing to make the first-team at Chelsea and has become the subject of interest for many of Europe's top clubs with his performances.

"He's ready," Lukaku Sr. told Het Laatste Nieuws‏. "I see that there is interest from Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Chelsea and Manchester United.

"I think he must choose Manchester United or Bayern Munich. Manchester United is a team under construction with no real focus.

"Bayern Munich is a machine where he can rotate well. The only condition is if Robert Lewandowski leaves."

Lukaku distanced himself from his father's comments, but did say he wants to play in the Champions League next season.

"That is my dad's point of view; I think those are the teams he likes," he said. "It means people are keeping an eye on you.

"I have an agent who is dealing with this for me at the moment. I just want to be good, help my team-mates win games and score lots of goals."

But, asked if he wanted to play in Europe, he said: "That is the next step for me. I'm 23 next summer and I think it would be nice to play in the Champions League from next season."
