Today’s edition of the Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper claims Manchester City are prepared to break the bank for Romelu Lukaku, but he won’t leave Inter.
According to the Italian sports paper, Pep Guardiola has pinpointed Lukaku as an ideal reinforcement for his squad at the top of the Premier League.
The Belgian has plenty of experience in England with Everton and City’s rivals Manchester United, but confessed the diet and fitness work he’s been doing at Inter under Antonio Conte has taken him to “another level.”
The Gazzetta claims Guardiola had already made an initial approach for Lukaku over the summer, after his impressive first season at San Siro.
That interest is believed to still be active, but Lukaku has found the form of his life at Inter and has no intention of interrupting this experience already.
He scored 58 goals in 84 competitive matches for Inter, paying back the €74m plus bonuses investment for his signature in 2019.
Conte had wanted to work with him for many years, including at Chelsea, and together they have Inter top of the Serie A table.
