Romelu Lukaku will take pay-cut to leave Man Utd after ‘agreeing terms with Inter’
MANCHESTER UNITED striker Romelu Lukaku is reportedly willing to take a pay-cut in order to secure a move to Inter Milan.
The 26-year-old has been heavily linked with the Serie A side, with the club to go all out for the Belgian international once they confirm Antonio Conte as their new boss.
Lukaku has failed to win over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer since the Norwegian succeeded Jose Mourinho in December, with Marcus Rashford preferred in a central role.
It has been reported that Inter have offered the Red Devils long-term target Ivan Perisic and £30m for the ex-Everton ace.
But it is believed that Solskjaer will not entertain the offer as he wants nothing to do with the ageing Croatian winger.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, United are holding out for around £62m, with Inter struggling to match their asking price.
They claim that Lukaku travelled to Milan ‘a few weeks ago’ to meet with members of the Nerazzurri board, where he allegedly agreed to accept lower wages.
It is believed that the Chelsea flop currently takes home £250,000-a-week at Old Trafford.

If Conte replaces Luciano Spalletti at the San Siro, he will also look to bring Victor Moses to Italy after working with him at Stamford Bridge.
While Everton stand to pocket £5m should Lukaku depart the Theatre of Dreams at the end of the campaign.
Lukaku had a disappointing season at United, netting just 15 goals in 45 games in all competitions, with his last strike in the Premier League coming on March 2.
