Inter Milan to return with new bid for Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku – and it STILL might not be enough
Inter Milan are ready to launch a fresh bid for Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku, report Sky Sports.
The Nerazzurri had a previous offer of £54m rejected by United, who are holding out for at least £79m.

That has cast doubt on Lukaku's future, but Inter have not yet given up hope of acquiring one of Antonio Conte's leading targets.

Lukaku, who moved to Old Trafford for £75m in 2016, scored 15 goals in all competitions last term.
