Romelu Lukaku's agent says he is open to playing in Italy amid interest

Romelu Lukaku has been showing signs of getting back to his best as of late. However, Marcus Rashford's resurgent form has seen the Belgian getting sidelined on more occasions than one. As a result, there have been plenty of rumours linking the big Belgian with a move away from Old Trafford.

Federico Pastorello, Lukaku's agent said,

“He sees a way to have a career playing in different countries because he would like to win some trophies and prove himself and say to his children: ‘I won there and I won there and I won there’ and ‘I was a very good player in all the top championships’.

“The competition for third and fourth place in England is very tight so let’s see what will happen in the future at the end the season.”

Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan are all interested in signing Lukaku.
