Lukaku agent confirms Inter interest in Man Utd striker

BetOdds Transfers Internazionale Serie A Premier League Manchester United Romelu Lukaku

The Belgium international is expected to leave Old Trafford this summer with the Serie A outfit the favourites to sign him

Romelu Lukaku's agent has confirmed that Inter are trying to sign theÂ Manchester UnitedÂ striker this summer.

Lukaku has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer as it appears his two-year stay with the Red Devils is nearing its end.

The Belgium internationalÂ has already hinted that Inter could be his landing spot, having expressed his opinion that newly-hired Antonio Conte is the best manager in the world.

He hasÂ also been urged to move by Belgium boss Roberto Martinez, who said that it "is clear that he has to leave Manchester United" while adding that a move was in the best interest of both parties.

In the wake of those statements, Lukaku's agentÂ Federico Pastorello was spotted meeting Inter executives at the club's offices in Milan on Tuesday afternoon.

Pastorello says that the meeting's primary talking point wasÂ to discuss the transfer of one of his other clients, Edoardo Vergani, who is preparing toÂ join Sassuolo.Â Â

But the agent also admitted that a potential move to Inter is still on the cards for Lukaku while confirming that NerazzurriÂ are interested.

"We talked about [Edoardo] Vergani because his is a more urgent situation," Pastorello told FC Inter News.

"In the next few days, we'll talk about the rest.

"Lukaku is a dream, a difficult one to make happen as such, but I believe nothing is impossible."

He added: "Yes [Inter are trying to sign Lukaku[.Â He's publicly expressed his plans and desires. We'll see what happens."

Lukaku scored 15 goals in 45 appearances for Manchester United in 2018-19, having scored 27 in 51 the previous campaign.

However, the former Chelsea forwardÂ has been the target of heavy criticism despite his statistics being up there with the very bestÂ in the Premier League.

Manchester United finished sixth in the Premier League this season, having also reached the Champions League quarter-finals by topping Paris Saint-Germain in stunning fashion in the last 16.

MeanwhileÂ Inter sealed Champions League football for next season by finishing fourth in Serie A, with a win over Empoli on the final dayÂ seeing them edge rivals AC Milan to that spot.
