Inter Milan are urging Manchester United to be flexible in talks over the signing of Romelu Lukaku.

Sky Italia says Inter hope to offer Lukaku £41m over five years, including bonuses, if they can convince Manchester United to sell the Belgian striker.

Inter's latest proposal for Lukaku would guarantee United £63m including add ons but structured over two or three years.

It's believed that is still short of United's expectations with the club wanting more than the £79m they paid Everton in 2017.

The Serie A club is reluctant to match that asking price and would prefer to find some middle ground.
