Inter prepare new Lukaku swoop

By Football Italia staff

Inter are back in the running for Romelu Lukaku after Paulo Dybala rejected Manchester United, ready to make a new offer of €70m plus bonuses.

Multiple reports in England and Italy this evening are confident the exchange deal between Dybala and Lukaku is off, as the Juventus striker was not eager to make the move and Manchester United became irritated at his obvious disinterest.

Inter Coach Antonio Conte already dropped several hints in this evening’s Press conference that they’re feeling more confident about Lukaku, who has been their number one transfer target since the start of the summer.

Sky Sport Italia report that the Nerazzurri have been in contact with Lukaku’s agent Federico Pastorello since this morning, having heard of the serious problems in the Juventus negotiations.

The last formal Inter bid to Manchester United was €60m plus €5m in bonuses, but that could rise to €70m plus bonuses and that may well be the clincher.

The Premier League transfer window closes on August 9, so it’s a race against time to get the Belgium international sold and find a suitable replacement.

Meanwhile, Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio also warns that Dybala’s refusal puts Mario Mandzukic to Manchester United at risk.

The Croatian veteran had agreed personal terms with a fee of around €15m.
