Manchester United and Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku is reportedly Inter’s first choice to replace Mauro Icardi this summer.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Inter have decided to sell Icardi and believe Lukaku has the ‘age and potential’ to become their new No 9.
United paid €85m to sign the 25-year-old in the summer of 2017, but the website claims he is now worth closer to €50m after two seasons that are considered to have been below-par.
The former Everton hitman is also represented by Federico Pastorello, who already has Nerazzurri winger Antonio Candreva on his books.
However, TMW warns Lukaku would have to take a hit on his €10m salary to join the Beneamata.
Furthermore, the Red Devils may refuse to negotiate with Inter after they failed to bring in Ivan Perisic last summer.

He's a good player with potential but he doesn't fit into the United style of play, he's too slow, he can barely handle one on one situations unless he's very lucky, and last but not least, his first touch still needs a heck lotta improvement

Good idea for Inter. They needed a defender anyway.

we keep lukaku. it's the wingers at man Utd who are not good. so the wingers should be sold not lukaku. I mean martial mata lindegard rashford. how ever we can still keep rashford lukaku and martial since they are initially no 9. so mata and lindegard for sure should be sold. also if rashford and martial don't have the right attitude and are looking for salary raise. they should be sold also. however we have to keep lukaku he does not seem a greedy player and I like his attitude.
