Man Utd Transfer News: Romelu Lukaku is wanted by Inter Milan, but the fee is believed to be £75 million.
Manchester United will be hoping to cash in on the players who will not have a future at Old Trafford. There are many players who are believed to be heading the exit door, including Romelu Lukaku.
The former Everton striker has told the club to place him on the transfer list after playing second fiddle to Marcus Rashford under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The Belgian International has been frustrated with the lack of game time and it is the key rationale to search elsewhere for options. Lukaku is currently framed out and has been used in the right wings rather than being utilized as the focal point through the middle in the cup competitions also.
Since he is unsure of his position under the current regime, Lukaku will speak to other clubs in the transfer window. His agent Federico Pastorello is set to meet Ed Woodward in the coming days.
Antonio Conte, who is on the verge of joining Inter Milan, will make a move for the striker in the summer window, according to the reliable Kristof Terreur. The Italian International had already shown interest on the striker in 2017, but Lukaku chose Manchester United instead.
The Red Devils are desiring to recoup £75 million plus add ons, the amount they paid to Everton two years before. Everton will receive £5 million if the deal takes place this summer, and everything is uncertain currently.
Romelu Lukaku has scored 15 goals and has four assists from 45 appearances, including the brace against Paris Saint Germain which took United to the Champions League Quarterfinals.
Here’s how Twitter reacted..
Antonio Conte close to signing at Inter. And Romelu Lukaku is one of his targets – just like in the summer of 2017, when he was at Chelsea. Key in a possible deal: agent Federico Pastorello. And can they pay the full package: fee (+£75m) and wages? #mufc pic.twitter.com/TeZL00FhXK

Everton are still getting £5m if Romelu Lukaku is sold before 30 June 2022 (or extends his deal before that date). At the moment there are still a lot of ifs before a deal (with Inter) might be done. #efc #mufc
