Romelu Lukaku: Manchester United star to abide by the club amidst interest from Inter Milan

Romelu Lukaku: Manchester United star reportedly will not force a move out from the club as he is seeking new challenges elsewhere.

Romelu Lukaku is reported to make a move out of the Old Trafford this summer, amidst interest from Inter Milan as newly appinted manager Antonio Conte seems him as an appropriate fit in his squad.

The 26-year-old striker is also delighted by the offer and wants to make a move to Italy. However, in further advancements, according to a report by the ESPN, Lukaku will not force a move out from Manchester United this summer, as he is not ready to hand a transfer request.

It is reported that the Red Devils are not satisfied with the offers proposed by Inter Milan for the Belgian International. Meanwhile, Inter Milan are trying to negotiate a deal for the Belgium international with Manchester United holding out for a fee of around £80 million.

The Nerazzurris have tried to include several players in a swap deal but failed to convince the English giants to agree a deal. The Red Devils invested massively in Lukaku two years ago, and are seeking good amount in return.

Hence, Manchester United are not actively looking to sell Lukaku and have told the Italian outfit that it will take a substantial fee before they sanction the move.

Till then, Lukaku has decided not to rush things and ease the negotiations, and will wait further despite his interests outside. It was earlier reported that the player wants to end the transfer saga before Ole Solskjaer’s side take off for Australia.

Hence, it seems that the Belgian International will have to join his club in the tour until something is agreed in the next two weeks.
