Manchester United reject Inter Milan's bid for Romelu Lukaku

As per latest reports, Manchester United have rejected Inter Milan's offer for unsettled striker Romelu Lukaku as their bid did not meet the Red Devils' valuation of the player. The Serie A side offered all of £53.9 million in cash to Manchester United. The offer did not include any add-ons.

Manchester United have rejected the offer and are holding out for a fee in excess of the £79 million that they paid to bring the big Belgian to Old Trafford from Everton in the summer of 2017. Inter Milan are desperate to replace Mauro Icardi who has been informed that he has no future at the club and manager Conte has confirmed their interest in Lukaku.

Speaking to the press ahead of Inter Milan's pre-season game against Manchester United, Antonio Conte said,

"You know very well that I like this player, also in the past when I was Chelsea's coach and I tried to bring him.

"But I repeat: today Lukaku is a player of United. I have great respect for United.

"I consider him an important player for us to have a good improvement. We know which is our situation; we will see what happens."
