The arrival of Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku to Milan has helped to make Inter a more attractive destination, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Turin based newspaper Tuttosport.

The report details how the 26-year-old Belgian striker, who is contracted to the Nerazzurri until 2024, has repaid the Milanese club for their investment both on and off the pitch. The player has been key for coach Antonio Conte this season, scoring 23 goals and providing five assists in 35 appearances across all competitions.

His arrival has also helped to make Inter a more exciting project to join, the report continues. The effect of his arrival can be seen with the transfer of Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen in January and will likely help in the Nerazzurri’s attempts to sign Dries Mertens and Jan Vertonghen on free transfers in the summer.

Lukaku has formed a formidable partnership with Lautaro Martinez but the Argentine striker may leave for Barcelona in the summer.
