#3 Inter Milan CEO confirm club still interested in Lukaku

Inter Milan are still interested in Lukaku

Inter Milan CEO Beppe Marotta has provided an update on their quest to sign Lukaku. The Serie A side had identified the Belgian as their primary target this summer, after the appointment of former Chelsea coach Antonio Conte as the manager. Inter are very interested in signing Lukaku but refuse to match United's asking price. The Red Devils, on the other hand, are not interested in the player plus cash deal that Inter are offering.

In such a situation, Marotta has highlighted that Inter requires patience while attempting to secure Lukaku's signature.

The transfer market is a work in progress. We are working hard to get the best squad possible for the new season. We are ambitious and want the best team possible. We also must find ways to respect all financial perimeters too.

We cannot rush things because that can lead to mistakes. We have clear ideas but we need to be patient. We have important goals and transfer targets in mind.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two.

Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.

Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
