Inter director Piero Ausilio is in England this evening for negotiations with Manchester United and striker Romelu Lukaku.
A trip to the UK was expected this week and Sky Sport Italia state it’s happening right now.
Antonio Conte has made it clear from day one that he considers Lukaku the ideal reinforcement at Inter, having already tried to purchase the Belgian at Chelsea.
Manchester United want €80m and have repeatedly turned down attempts to lower the price-tag by including players such as Mauro Icardi and Radja Nainggolan.
Inter director Piero Ausilio is in England this evening for negotiations with Manchester United and striker Romelu Lukaku.
A trip to the UK was expected this week and Sky Sport Italia state it’s happening right now.
Antonio Conte has made it clear from day one that he considers Lukaku the ideal reinforcement at Inter, having already tried to purchase the Belgian at Chelsea.
Manchester United want €80m and have repeatedly turned down attempts to lower the price-tag by including players such as Mauro Icardi and Radja Nainggolan.
They also rejected the option of taking Lukaku on a one or two-year loan with obligation to buy, therefore spreading out the payments.
Juventus and Napoli have also been linked with Lukaku, although they are believed to be largely just trying to put a spanner in the works for their Serie A rivals Inter.
Director of sport Ausilio flew out today to London in order to thrash out some details, but Beppe Marotta remained at the club’s pre-season training camp in Lugano.
