#3 Inter Milan to offer Romelu Lukaku a £41m contract

Inter plan on offering Lukaku a bumper contract

The Lukaku situation at United has refused to settle down. Inter Milan are interested in the services of the player, but their £63m bid was rejected by United. The Red Devils are holding out for at least £79m, but the Serie A side are reluctant to pay that amount.

In middle of all the turmoil, Lukaku's absence from the United pre-season squad against Leeds United is thought to be an indication of the player's imminent departure. If Inter and United do reach an agreement, the Serie A side are preparing a bumper offer for the player.

Sky Sports reports that Inter Milan will offer Romelu Lukaku a contract worth £41m including bonuses, over a period of 5 years. However, all that depends on whether they can convince United to sell the Belgian. The player himself is eager to make the move and play under Antonio Conte, who he has previously described as the best coach in the world.
