Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku is set to join Inter Milan from Manchester United, with the Italian club reportedly agreeing an 80 million euros (£73.73 million) deal for the 26-year-old.
On August 8, 2019, Lukaku arrived at Malpensa airport in the early hours of the morning, amid reports that the two clubs had agreed on the transfer fee.
Television pictures showed dozens of jubilant Inter Milan fans gathered at Malpensa to welcome Lukaku, who had been training with Belgian side Anderlecht for the last few days.
According to Italian media, Lukaku's medical was booked for around 0800 GMT, and he would put pen to paper afterwards.
Inter's new coach Antonio Conte has been chasing Lukaku for some time and had also tried to sign him when he was manager of Chelsea. Serie A champions Juventus were also reported as being interested in the player.
Lukaku joined United from Everton in 2017 and scored 42 goals in 96 appearances in all competitions, with 11 of those goals coming in his first two months at the club.
