Inter Milan line up Man Utd star as Romelu Lukaku’s replacement
Serie A titans Inter Milan are reportedly targeting the recruitment of Manchester United forward Anthony Martial this summer.
The 25-year-old Frenchman has been identified as a planned signing for the Nerazzurri who are keen on finding a replacement for the outgoing Romelu Lukaku.
As widely publicized by multiple European media outlets on Saturday, the Belgian striker is on the brink of making a $152M switch from Inter to Chelsea, ending a two-year assignment at the Guisseppe Meaza.
Since arriving in Serie A from Manchester United, the former Blues academy graduate has been much reliable for the current Scudetto holders, scoring 64 goals in 95 appearances.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Lukaku’s move to Stamford Bridge will soon be made formal and he is expected to sign a long-term deal that will see him earn $14M in wages annually.
He is expected to fly to London for his medical in the coming days after performing the mandatory quarantine for travelers to the UK.
With Lukaku’s transfer now looking assured, Inter are moving swiftly to bring in a successor as they aim to defend their Serie A title.
As per the Mirror, Anthony Martial is the player that Simeone Inzaghi’s side aims to hire to lead their attacking line and are willing to take him on board as a loanee for the first season.
An obligation to buy clause is expected to be included should United agree to the Italian club’s proposal.
Owning to Martial’s inconsistency since joining the Red Devils in 2015, the Premier League outfit is said to be keen on cutting its losses and recoup most of the $69.3M they paid Monaco to sign him.
In the 258 appearances that he has made for the club, he has managed just 78 goals.
