TRANSFER: INTER MILAN MAKE OFFICIAL MOVE TO SIGN LUKAKU

Italian club, Inter Milan have made an official approach to sign Manchester United forward, Romelu Lukaku.
According to skysport, the club’s sporting director Piero Ausilio met with United club officials and it is understood United want a cash-only £75m fee from the Serie A club if they are to sell the Belgium striker.
“It was an official approach between two important clubs. We’ll see what happens. All the players we’re following are targets we’ve agreed with Antonio Conte. We want to satisfy his request within certain financial parameters,” Ausilio said.
Meanwhile, another report says United are have denied receiving a formal offer from Inter, or any other club, for the player.
Inter’s only proposal has been a smaller fee for a two-year loan with an obligation to buy for a much larger sum spread over the next couple of years, however, the total of that deal comes in short of United’s valuation.
United paid Everton £79m for Lukaku two summers ago and it’s understood they would be looking for an increase on that figure if they were to be tempted to sell him, as the club do not believe £79m is an accurate valuation of the player in the current market.
The 26-year-old did not take part in training on Thursday afternoon and underwent some rehab work but will be back in the squad for Saturday’s friendly against Perth Glory
