Manchester United have asked Inter Milan for either Milan Skriniar or Lautaro Martinez after the Serie A club failed to pay part of Romelu Lukaku’s transfer fee, according to reports in Italy. The Belgian forward swapped Old Trafford for the San Siro back in August 2019 in a £74million deal which featured a host of bonuses and performance-related clauses.
Lukaku has been in fine form for the Serie A leaders this season, netting 18 goals in 23 appearances, and according to Corriere dello Sport he has triggered a clause which means Inter must immediately pay the remaining fee of the deal.
With the clause triggered, United are said to be pressurising Inter to pay them off.
However, this has now been disputed by La Repubblica’s Franco Vanni, who tried to clarify the situation around Lukaku on Twitter.
“Inter owed €1.9 million bonuses to Manchester United at the end of last season,” Vanni explained. “After the COVID-19 pandemic, the clubs renegotiated the timing of the payment to July 2021. “Instead, Inter already paid that bonus in January. “The relations between the clubs are good.”
