Chelsea and Manchester City reported move for Romelu Lukaku has suffered setback as Inter Milan ‘have slapped a price tag of £102million’ on theprolific striker.
The Belgian striker, who has scored 25 times for the Serie A leaders in a prolific season, has been reportedly considered by the Premier League clubs as an alternative for the £154m-valued Erling Haaland.
But Inter are desperate to keep hold of Lukaku, signed from Manchester United for around £75m in 2019.
And, according to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via the Mail, they have valued the 27-year-old at over £100m to deter potential suitors.
Corriere say that few clubs would be able to afford that price tag for a player contracted to the San Siro club until 2024.
Lukaku was linked with a return to his former club Chelsea last week if the Blues are unable to sign Haaland from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
It comes as Thomas Tuchel looks for more firepower with last year’s £53m signing Timo Werner struggling to make an impact in the Premier League.
