Inter Milan have stolen a march on Juventus in the race to sign Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku, according to the Daily Express.

The Serie A champions had moved ahead of their domestic rivals after offering to send Paulo Dybala in the opposite direction.

However, the Argentina international's wage demands and lack of interest in a switch to Old Trafford scuppered that deal.

The Nerazzurri have not yet come close to meeting United's £80m valuation, but that could change as the start of the Serie A season approaches.

And according to ESPN, United will not seek to replace Lukaku should he depart, with youngster Mason Greenwood poised to take his place in the squad.
