Bengaluru, May 30: Manchester United star Romelu Lukaku flew to Italy to hold talks with Inter Milan representatives and has reportedly agreed to a deal to join the Serie A giants after being told by the club officials that he is free to leave Old Trafford this summer but only if a right offer arrives.
United are set for a major summer shake-up under Solskjaer, with numerous first-team members expected to leave Old Trafford in the summer and it is believed that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made it clear he will not stand in Lukaku’s way should he seek regular first-team football this summer.
Lukaku might have been a manager’s favourite under Jose Mourinho, but it has been clear from Solskjaer that he fancies him as a second choice.
The Belgian forward has seen his position captured by Marcus Rashford since Solskjaer's appointment and rumours have been circulating that he could move to Serie A next season to Inter Milan, who reportedly will have the former Chelsea and Juventus boss Antonio Conte as next manager.
Conte tried to sign the 26-year-old Belgian during his Chelsea stint but eventually has had to settle with Alvaro Morata. But the Italian is expected to renew his interest in the player and some of the latest reports have backed up the claim suggesting the player and his agent already has finalised some personal terms with the Italian side.
Romelu Lukaku has agreed a five-year contract with Inter Milan worth €7.5m per year plus bonuses. Inter Milan will now negotiate with Manchester United to complete the deal. [GdS] pic.twitter.com/dORo5ugLyk
