Lukaku, Inter will offer up to 35 million, Chelsea are asking for 45 – Corriere.it

Intrigue Lukaku. Until a certain point. Chelsea’s moods and expectations bounced back in Italy yesterday morning. The British media have revealed what Londoners expect to free the Belgian giant: 45 million euros are needed, they say. The negotiation is in fact entering the hottest phase. Inter had so far budgeted a figure close to 30 million. The impression that Beppe Marotta will go up to 35 million, including bonuses. And with a slight further filing the deal will be closed. Probably not before 5-6 days, because the negotiation is not the simplest from many points of view, but Romelu’s future is increasingly Nerazzurri.

The boy and his entourage have in fact reiterated that they are not considering other options, they are appreciating Inter’s efforts: concrete, important, full of esteem for Big Rome. And the hypothesis of an inclusion of Juventus quickly evaporated. Track, among other things, defused directly by the Juventus top management, who seem oriented, up front, to start again from Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic. Then, of course, each plan revisable in the face of any indecent offers. Certainly, sporting director Giuntoli currently has a clear priority: to find accommodation for the various Zakaria, Arthur, McKennie and Bonucci. Only after having lightened the squad in terms of redundancies, will it be possible to think of weight grafts, including Milinkovic-Savic.

Returning to Inter, these are decisive hours on the Onana front. Manchester United has arrived to offer 45 million euros, the Nerazzurri want 60: it closes halfway, and the English are just about to formalize the definitive raise. It won’t go beyond the next 24-48 hours. The 27-year-old Cameroonian is ready to leave Milan. As well as the vice-champion of Europe club prepared to move on: already blocked Anatoly Trubin and Yann Sommer; 15 million the cost of the 21-year-old Ukrainian from Shakhtar Donetsk, 5 million that of the Swiss expert returning from a season at Bayern Munich. In the meantime – a rather important indication – De Gea said goodbye to Manchester United: Now is the right time to face new challenges, to push myself towards new horizons – says the 32-year-old Spanish goalkeeper -. Manchester will always be in my heart.

Milan chapter: we are at the details regarding the Pulisic operation. It seems difficult – due to bureaucratic issues – that the 24-year-old US striker can make himself available for tomorrow’s meeting, but the deal can be considered closed from every point of view. The Rossoneri then also concentrated on Reijnders, the 24-year-old Dutch central midfielder: there is optimism, AZ Alkmaar remains a tough nut to crack and continues to ask for 25 million. As for the winger, there is always the 24-year-old Nigerian Samuel Chukwueze in Rossoneri’s thoughts: the negotiations with Villarreal have not yet taken off. In the meantime, Milan is thinking of Franco Baresi (among other things already on the team) as club manager for better management of team-club relations.
