Inter Milan to make fresh bid for Romelu Lukaku

Will Lukaku be a Manchester United player next season?

According to reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano, Romelu Lukaku's agent is coming to London and Inter Milan are preparing a new bid for the Manchester United striker. Inter Milan are in desperate need of a striker after confirming that Mauro Icardi is not part of their plans for the upcoming season.

However, they will have to ramp up their efforts as the Premier League transfer window will shut tomorrow and Manchester United will want to, at least, have a shot at signing a replacement.

Juventus had earlier edged past Inter in the race for Lukaku. They had a swap deal involving Dybala agreed with Manchester United. However, United pulled the plug on it as they were not willing to give into Dybala's exorbitant wage demands.

Romelu Lukaku is reportedly set to be fined for missing a training session and training in Belgium without informing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. It looks like Lukaku has his heart set on a move away from the club and there is a disconnect between him and the managerial staff.
