Reported Manchester City target, Romelu Lukaku, is said to have no interest in signing for the club this summer, with his eyes firmly on staying at Inter Milan.

That is according to Sempre Inter, who cite FC Inter News as confirming that City do want Lukaku, but that there is currently no desire by the Belgian to move.

Pep Guardiola is said to be on the hunt for a new striker after seeing Sergio Aguero struggle with injury all season and Gabriel Jesus show inconsistencies in terms of goalscoring.

Lukaku, along with Erlin Haaland, are said to be top targets for the City boss. However, Sempre claim Lukaku is ‘not even remotely considering a departure’ from Milan, and that his barring economic disaster, Lukaku should stay with Inter.

It could mean City now have to move on and look away from the former Manchester United striker.

TBR View: Lukaku would make City a different beast, but Inter can dig their heels for now

Adding someone like Lukaku would bring City a completely different element to their game play. They don’t have anyone like the Belgian, so his power, pace, and running in behind could bring success.

However, Inter, as mentioned, aren’t under pressure to sell him at the moment. That means they can dig their heels a bit, and even if City do come calling, demand a massive fee for Lukaku.

City will have other targets and in all honesty, it looks like they’ll have to move onto them here.
