adminMILAN. – Inter Milan chief executive Giuseppe Marotta has said they are in talks to sign Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku and Juventus forward Paulo Dybala.
BBC Sport has reported Lukaku would take a pay cut to rejoin Inter on loan, after his £97.5m move last summer. “Lukaku and Dybala are our targets,” Marotta told Radio Rai.
He added the club have deals in place to sign Roma midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana from Ajax.
Of the bids for Lukaku and Dybala, Marotta added: “We need to consider financial issues. We are in talks with these two players and we’ll be happy if we sign them. If not, we’ll consider different targets.”
Inter president Steven Zhang has stepped in to try to sort out Lukaku’s return to the club, according to BBC Sport’s Simon Stone.
The Serie A side do not have the finances to engineer a permanent deal and have been struggling to meet the loan fee Chelsea want for the 29-year-old.
Zhang has been meeting with coach Simone Inzaghi to put together a deal Chelsea would find acceptable. – BBC Sport
