Bayern Munich chief exec Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is full of praise for Romelu Lukaku's impact at Inter Milan.

Rummenigge is a former Inter Milan striker, himself.

“He's different. He's physically a colossus," Rummenigge said. “But he gets along technically too. He doesn't only rely on his physical nature, he's good.

“In the derby he made an exceptional assist to Lautaro. Lukaku has technical skills that were not seen so much in Manchester. He too was reborn thanks to Inter."

Bayern Munich are being linked with Inter Marcelo Brozovic this month.

“We never had any contact, honestly," Rummenigge added. “The market will be very complicated for everyone this year.

“Last year, the market was already a bit overwhelmed, this year it's still down. The prices of players have fallen by 50 per cent, but the agents have ensured that the good players have kept their earnings at the old level.

“I feel that all the clubs in Europe are trying to lower the cost of wages. And every club – large, medium, and small – have their troubles."
