Federico Pastorello started transfer chat relatively early this season, hinting Romelu Lukaku could be on the move in the summer.

He didn’t say it outright, but there was a strong suggestion a move abroad might be something that could interest the Manchester United forward.

Either way, one potential landing spot for him would be Serie A, where Inter, should they sell Mauro Icardi in the coming months, could be keen.

A lot will depend on the manager and on sales, but La Repubblica believe that if Antonio Conte does take over from Luciano Spalletti in the summer, then he would ask for Romelu Lukaku to be his striker.

This certainly makes some sense, as we all know the Italian manager wanted to bring back the Belgian to Stamford Bridge back in 2017.

Unfortunately for Conte, Manchester United swooped in at the last minute, and the former Juventus man had to ‘make do’ with Alvaro Morata, now on loan at Atlético Madrid.

Many things need to happen before this story gains any kind of credibility, but it’s believable, which cannot be said for half of the stuff put out there sometimes.
