Martinez: 'Lukaku has to move'

By Football Italia staff

Belgium Coach Roberto Martinez warns “it’s clear Romelu Lukaku needs to leave Manchester United,” as Inter continue negotiations.

The striker is first choice for new Nerazzurri boss Antonio Conte, although the €80m asking price is proving a problem and several player exchanges are being discussed.

“It’s clear that Romelu Lukaku needs to leave Manchester United. It would be good for both parties,” Martinez told HLN Sport in Belgium.

“It’s now up to Rom to find the right club.”

The 26-year-old scored 15 goals in 45 competitive appearances for Manchester United this season, but looked a completely different player when wearing the Belgium jersey.

Everton sold him to United for €84m in 2017, beating competition from Conte’s Chelsea.
