Romelu Lukaku Inks Record-Breaking Deal with Inter MilanRomelu Lukaku Inks Record-Breaking Deal with Inter Milan In a sensational transfer move, Belgian star Romelu Lukaku has joined Italian giants Inter Milan from Manchester United for a staggering €80 million ($89 million), shattering the Serie A transfer record. The 26-year-old striker penned a five-year contract with the Nerazzurri, making him the most expensive acquisition in the league’s history. The deal eclipses the €75 million Juventus paid for Cristiano Ronaldo in 2018. Lukaku’s arrival at Inter has been highly anticipated after he expressed his desire to leave Old Trafford following a turbulent season. The Belgian had grown increasingly frustrated with his playing time and role under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. At Inter, Lukaku will be reunited with former manager Antonio Conte, who previously coached him at Chelsea. Conte is believed to be a huge admirer of Lukaku’s abilities and sees him as the perfect focal point of his attacking system. Lukaku’s move to Inter also represents a major coup for the club’s new owners, Suning Holdings Group. The Chinese conglomerate has invested heavily in the team in recent years and is eager to return them to former glories. The Belgian striker is expected to be a key figure in Inter’s quest for their first Serie A title since 2010. Lukaku is renowned for his physical prowess, aerial ability, and clinical finishing. He has scored 113 goals in the Premier League during his time with Chelsea, Manchester United, and Everton. Lukaku’s arrival has sent shockwaves through Serie A and has heightened expectations at Inter. The Nerazzurri will now be considered one of the favorites to challenge Juventus for the Scudetto and make a deep run in the Champions League.
