Inter have reportedly upped their bid for Romelu Lukaku to £75m (€83m), but it is still short of Manchester United's £80m (€89m) valuation.
According to The Sun and The Times, Inter are now prepared to offer £60m up front, with £15m to follow in bonuses.
However, the newspapers report United are still not budging and want the Nerazzurri to commit to meeting their asking price in full.
The Sun, meanwhile, claims there is already discord between the Beneamata and new boss Antonio Conte over the striker.
Running the story as an exclusive, it claims Conte is 'fuming' with his club's failure to land the Belgian and 'smarting behind the scenes'.
He would have even refused to do more Press because 'the situation is not what he was promised'.
It is understood Suning Group does not believe the 26-year-old is worth the kind of money being quoted.
Lukaku, meanwhile, has missed the Red Devils' first two preseason friendlies and will not face Inter on Saturday with a minor injury.

Manchester United Fans can be so ungrateful, how can they easily forget what this same R. Lukaku did for us in the 2 previous 2017/2018 & 2018/2019 UCL... when we loss to Seville 2 goals to 1 it was This Guy who gave us the goal out of no where.. when we need a Serious comeback against PSG who were already having 2 away goals ahead of Us, it was this same Fat and Useless R. Lukaku that gave us 2 Away goals, He had some challenges last season but yet among our stickers he had more goals..If they want R. Lukaku out that badly what will they do or say about Alexis Sanchez and Linguard?.. Please guys show some respect to our Best available present stricker... I LOVE R. Lukaku

Money in the transfer market is being splashed out like it grows on trees..Harry Maguire is being valued at £90m.Granted he is a decent centre back but is he worth that??Is he better than De Ligt who Juve snapped up for £75m??Is he better than Samuel Umtiti who Barcelona values at around £50-60m??No..This is really unbelievable to see..I think it is these numbers that has added to player power..Players becoming more powerful than their clubs..They go AWOL from training.They fight with their managers,they fight with their boards hell they even fight with their club's fans..They don't want to play football they are eager to move from one place to another just because they want to earn money.Rabiot,Pogba,Neymar,Griezmann are some names that we all know are some big names.Tbh you don't expect such kind of a behaviour from their part.Because they are professionals they are inspiration to millions of kids out there in the world..They are not setting a good example with this kind of behaviour.
