#1 Romelu Lukaku edging closer to Inter Milan

Romelu Lukaku is running out of time to secure his move away from Old Trafford

We revealed in this segment recently that Romelu Lukaku was back in Belgium, training with his boyhood club Anderlecht, even as serious doubts remained over his future. The Belgian has been monitored by both Inter Milan and Juventus to no avail, as a move has not materialized so far. However, it seems that the door has not shut on Lukaku as of yet.

Sky Sports reports that the Belgian's agent, Federico Pastorello had traveled to the UK to hold crunch talks with Manchester United over his agent's future at the club. The Red Devils are willing to let their star striker leave, provided their valuation of £79m is met. Inter Milan's recent bid of £68m including add ons was rejected by United.

Matt Law of the Telegraph has also revealed that there has been progress between United and Inter Milan regarding Lukaku's future. The Serie A side still believe that they can secure the Belgian's signature this summer.

However, should Lukaku stay at Old Trafford beyond the summer, there should not be any tensions between the player and Solskjaer, as both have been respectful while speaking of the other in public.
