The Belgium international has previously spoken of his appreciation for Italian football, leading to speculation that a move to Juventus or Inter Milan could materialise this summer.
Speaking to Sky Sport Italia, the 25-year-old revealed that he previously had the chance to move to Turin after leaving Chelsea in 2014.
“When I left Chelsea I had the opportunity to go to Juventus,” he said.
“I don’t know why, but I didn’t feel it. Something didn’t convince me. The next day, (Antonio) Conte left Juventus.
“Serie A is a dream, it would really be a dream. I hope I can play there at some point, although right now I’m focused on United and finishing fourth.”
“It was the UEFA Cup final between Inter and Lazio [in 1998],” he explained.
“When I saw how Ronaldo rounded the goalkeeper, I realised that if I wanted to become a professional I would have to train very hard.”
Lukaku has a contract at Old Trafford until 2022, but his future has been cast in doubt after a difficult season in the Premier League, where he has scored 12 goals in 31 appearances.
