Juventus ahead of Inter in race for Romelu Lukaku
Juventus have now become favourites to sign Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku amid claims that Inter Milan are poised to return with an improved bid after their initial £53.9 million offer got rejected.
Beppe Marotta, the Inter Milan director, had claimed that the club made "a fair and important offer respecting the value of the player". However, it was still way short of Manchester United's valuation of Romelu Lukaku. The Red Devils want in excess of the £79 million they paid for him in the summer of 2017.
Juve, on the other hand, are keen to include Paulo Dybala in any deal for Romelu Lukaku. Dybala is reportedly on his way out and Juve are trying to cash in. However, the Argentine is reportedly keen on staying at Juve and working with Sarri and the club will need to convince him to join Manchester United if they're to have a shot at roping in Lukaku.
