#3 Antonio Conte provides clarification on Romelu Lukaku links

Antonio Conte has lifted the lid on rumours linking Inter with a move for Romelu Lukaku

Newly-appointed Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte has lifted the lid on rumours linking the club with a move for Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku. The 26-year-old striker is poised to leave the Premier League giants, with the Nerrazurri touted to be his likliest destination.

When queried whether Inter officials had met with Lukaku's representatives, Conte said,

"No, that’s not right. But I repeat in this moment, there is a sporting director to talk about this and do this question about the transfer market, about the players. But I repeat, now we are very focused to do the first step and to work together."

When asked about Alexis Sanchez, who has also been linked with a move to the club, the Italian tactician said,

"Yeah, but you’re talking about the transfer market, you have to talk to the sporting director about this topic."
