Why Romelu Lukaku might be staying at Manchester United
Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku could remain at Old Trafford despite strong interest from Inter, report Gazzetta dello Sport.
Antonio Conte, who was unveiled as the new Inter manager last month, has made Lukaku one of his main transfer targets.
The former Chelsea boss tried to bring the Belgian to Stamford Bridge before he joined United in 2017.
However, Inter's offer of £54m is around £22m below what the Red Devils would consider to be an acceptable offer.
