Manchester United Opinion: Why the Reds should go all out for Timo Werner
According to a report from The Daily Mirror, Inter Milan are planning to complete a deal for Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku next week.
The Belgian, 26, joined United two summers ago from Everton for a fee of £75m and was a key figure for the Red Devils in his first 18 months at Old Trafford, but ended last season playing second fiddle to Marcus Rashford after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho in December.
Inter will make a new proposal for Lukaku for a permanent transfer in excess of £60m, although they still want the payments to be structured over two or three years.
The English transfer window will shut in just over three weeks’ time on Thursday, August 8 and Inter are aware that United would certainly want to replace their 26-year-old striker if he were to be sold.
RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner, who had previously attracted interest from Manchester United, is yet to pen a contract extension with the club.
The Germany international’s contract at Leipzig expires in 2020 and the club have consistently stated that the forward won’t be allowed to walk away for free, so selling Werner this summer remains the only option.
