Inter are preparing to set a new club record by signing Manchester United’s Belgian international striker Romelu Lukaku in a deal worth €70 million according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia’s transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio.
According to the report, Inter will loan the former Everton striker on a two year deal which will cost them €10 million, with a forced option to buy inserted in the deal set at €60 million, which will be paid over three years, bringing the total value of the transfer up to €70 million.
Di Marzio reports further, that Manchester United have indicated that they are willing to accept a deal that follows this formula and therefore the parties will soon meet, with Inter looking to close the deal as soon as possible, maybe even as early as next week.
Lukaku joined Manchester United from Everton in the summer of 2017, reportedly worth around £75 million and has since then featured 96 times across all competitions scoring 42 goals in the process.
