Manchester United want to recoup £80m for striker Romelu Lukaku with Inter Milan primed should Antonio Conte succeed Luciano Spalletti
- Manchester United are determined to recoup their outlay if Romelu Lukaku goes
- Inter Milan are interested in the striker should Antonio Conte become manager
- United spent £75m to get Lukaku but the deal has cost the club closer to £90m
Manchester United hope to recoup up to £80million if they sell Romelu Lukaku this summer.
Inter Milan are looking at landing Lukaku once Antonio Conte is confirmed as their new manager but may have to offload a striker first.
Conte is a long-time admirer of the Belgian, while United want value for money after laying out an initial £75m to sign him from Everton in 2017.

It is understood United ended up paying towards £90m after a number of clauses in the deal were quickly triggered.
Lukaku remains unsure where he will be playing next season, with his situation complicated by a transfer market sources have described as 'stuck'.
Conte has made it known that Mauro Icardi has no future under him at the San Siro, although the striker insisted earlier in the month he would be staying with the club.
United would look to add more height up front should Lukaku depart but manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer views Marcus Rashford as the club's main frontman. Lukaku, who still has three years on his contract with the option of another on top, has scored 28 goals in 55 Premier League starts at United.
