Inter Milan CEO, Giuseppe Marotta, has fumed at Manchester United’s decision to reject their offer for Romelu Lukaku, insisting that it was “fair and important” and they won’t overpay for the Belgian.
Lukaku has looked destined for the Old Trafford exit, after losing his place under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last season.
Antonio Conte has made no secret of his desire to land the former Everton star, who has not been involved in United’s pre-season matches due to injury.
And Marotta confirmed on Monday that a bid has been made.
Speaking to Sky Sport Italia, he said: “These days, it is clear that the demands for players [from clubs] are really high in some cases, as for Lukaku.
“We have made an offer [that was] fair and important, respecting the player’s value. We will monitor the situation, but I don’t feel I want to lose balance.
“The transfer window is long this year. Operations are not rushed, as they have been in past years.
“We are careful to assess opportunities based on financial and economic capacities. We must, however, respect the parameters of Financial Fair Play.
“But we must seize opportunities. We are confident.”
