Top 5 potential replacements for Romelu Lukaku at Inter Milan

#3 Moussa Dembele

Celtic FC v Manchester City FC - UEFA Champions League

A few months ago, Moussa Dembele was one of the most in-demand strikers in football. However, things have changed quickly, and the Frenchman is no longer a target for the clubs who were chasing him.

Atletico Madrid signed him on loan in January with a view of signing him permanently this summer. Diego Simeone saw the Frenchman as the ideal replacement for Diego Costa, but the Lyon striker did not impress.

Moussa Dembele is now back at Lyon and is leading their attack in Ligue 1. They have brought him back into their starting XI after Memphis Depay joined Barcelona following the expiry of his contract.

Inter Milan should take a gamble and get Moussa Dembele if he is available for less than any of their top targets.

#2 Diego Costa

Club Atletico de Madrid v Club Brugge - UEFA Champions League Group A

If Inter are looking for a short-term replacement for Romelu Lukaku and do not want to spend a lot, Diego Costa is their man. The Spaniard is still a free agent and is looking to move to a top-flight side this summer.

He was released by Atletico Madrid last year and has been out of action for nearly eight months. However, the former Chelsea striker has the hunger to get back on the pitch, and should Inter give him a chance, he could look to grab it with both hands.

So when is a Diego Costa signing for a club? I know he’s had injury issues, but it’s August and he hasn’t had a club since January

Inter's arch rivals - AC Milan - are going into the season with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Olivier Giroud as their top strikers, and Inter would not be far behind if they can manage to get Diego Costa.

#1 Edin Dzeko

AS Roma v FC Barcelona - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final Leg Two

Edin Dzeko has been a target for Inter ever since Antonio Conte took over 2 years back. The Italian manager is no longer at the club, but they might just bring in his top target.

Inter need a striker who can deliver at the big stage and someone who has the experience to guide the youngster coming through. Edin Dzeko should be their ideal match as he has been in top form at AS Roma.

The former Manchester City striker is reportedly available this summer as new manager Jose Mourinho looks to add a fresh face to his squad.

Inter are closing on Edin Dzeko deal. Contract agreed until 2023, now waiting for Roma to sign a new striker to complete the agreement. 🇧🇦 #InterDzeko’s not considered Lautaro Martinez replacement, as Inter board want him to stay after selling Lukaku.

Inter should do their best to land the Bosnian striker as he can help Lautaro Martinez take his game to the next level. Moreover, he can help the likes of Martín Adrián Satriano Costa and Andrea Pinamonti develop well without taking away their time in the first team.
