Reports continue to rage over Manchester United potentially cutting ties with Romelu Lukaku this summer.
The striker clearly wants to leave after drawing interests from Inter Milan and also stating his admiration for their new boss, Antonio Conte.
However, it is peculiar in a sense that the Belgian would just want to pack up and leave Old Trafford after only 2 seasons there. Belgian football expert Kristof Terreur explained why his compatriot might have arrived at this decision.
Speaking on the Transfer Window Podcast, Terreur said, “He’s been clear in his interviews he wants to leave. He doesn’t want to be second choice. That’s what he feels under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, he didn’t play that much when Solskjaer came in. He feels that he is second choice.
“Inter don’t have the money for the transfer. They can spend the money over a few years but that’s not what Man Utd want, they want the cash immediately and I don’t see them paying £75m or £80m. They can’t with their budget, so they will have to find a way around it.
“If they can keep Lukaku, Man Utd will be happy. If they can get the money, they will be happy.”
