Romelu Lukaku: Manchester United willing to agree a deal for Belgian International with Inter Milan but only if one condition is fulfilled.
Inter Milan are reportedly interested in hiring the services of Romelu Lukaku, as the newly appointed manager Antonio Conte sees Lukaku as a viable option in his rebuild at the Italian outfit.
However, Manchester United have reportedly denied all the previous offers made by Inter Milan for the Belgian International, since the Red Devils would like to seek a better outcome through his sale.
In recent advancements, according to a report by the Calciomercato, Manchester United will be ready to transfer Lukaku to Italy, only if the Nerazzurris would be willing to include Milan Skriniar in the deal.
Ole Solskjaer need immediate reinforcements in the defense, and considering Skriniar’s potential, he would surely upgrade Manchester United’s defense.
Moreover, with this Manchester United have also clarified their demands to withdraw Lukaku from the squad, who was bought by the English giants for a masive sum.
However, it seems unlikely that Inter Milan would be ready to send Skriniar, as he is among the most crucial players in the Nerazzurri’s squad.
Additionally, the 24-year-old defender is a life-long Inter Milan fan and intends to retire at the Italian club, he even signed a five-year extension with the club.
Hence, this transfer saga is getting even more complicated. Manchester United are not looking for money instead they want quality players to bolster their squad, but Solskjaer is finding it difficult due to absence of the Champions league next season at the Old Trafford.
Now, it is upon Inter Milan to agree or reject the deal, and look for other prospects instead of Lukaku in the market.

If we get Skriniar + £££ for Lukaku it would genuinely be the best piece of business Utd have done since Woodward started stinking up the place.
Fully expect it to fall apart of £1.5m worth of add ons.

Skriniar is outstanding and will cost a fair bob more than Lukaku

It won’t happen then speaking to journalists they all think there’s no chance skriniar would be included they believe as much as conte wants lukaku he doesn’t want to lose a key player at the back

If we could get a decent backup striker in from somewhere else, the most logical offer to make to Inter is a straight swap between Lukaku and Skriniar #MUFC
