Towards the beginning of the summer, Romelu Lukaku was fully expected to join Conte's Inter Milan after ongoing links during the close-season. He was willing to leave a Manchester United where he's scored a few goals and had some impressive performances, but never settled in as the top footballer he was expected to be after his pricey transfer.
This is not to say that Lukaku lacks is lacking offers from other teams. Juventus are set to sign him in the coming days. With Moise Kean in Everton, Mario Mandzukic thinking of continuing and Gonzalo Higuaín more out than in, the 'Vecchia Signora' needs strikers.
And here appears the name of Lukaku. In the absence of a green light for a player switch with Paulo Dybala, the Belgian striker is just a step away from Turin. The popular journalist Niccolò Ceccarini revealed on Saturday that Inter were once again interested in Lukaku. The'neroazzurros' are desperately looking for a replacement for Mauro Icardi.
But it looks like they're late. TuttoSport' reports that the footballer would rather go to Turin, which means the two teams need only to agree on the other side of the deal: Paulo Dybala.
Even Napoli has made a bid for the former Anderlecht, Everton, and Chelsea player in recent hours, without a positive response. He did not play the 'red devils' last match. An imminent departure is expected from Lukaku.
