Fabrizio Ferrari brokers deals for clubs in the striker's native Belgium, where he currently plays for Anderlecht, and in Italy where one one particular club is interested in the 17-year-old's services.
"Juventus are interested in Lukaku but Anderlecht say they will sell him in the summer to a club in the Premier League, at his request, because he believes his characteristics are most suited to the Premier League," Ferrari told newspaper Tuttosport.
"He is a wonder, with his speed and technique; he reminds of the when I first saw the Brazilian striker Adriano at Inter Milan."
