This one seems dead to be honest

I don't know, don't think we go through all the hassle and their money troubles for him to get a new lucrative contract, not with how it has previously played out.

Not saying its wrong but I still think he will leave

i think there contract offer will be key in this, if they offer him big wages then they are telling them they want to keep him and value him,

if they offer a modest increase then it seems pretty obvious he will turn it down then with his contract running down they will say they are forced to sell to keep the fans onside but really it would be that they want to sell to help with their financial situation.

Inter won't sell all their star players just because they are in a financial mess.

Italian clubs are in a mess for ages and they somehow deal with it. They already sold Hakimi and Lukaku. Think our chances are well below 10% here.

Lukaku was on (apparently) £145k p/w. I don't think they will/can offer him more than that? Even if they double his wage he'd be on less than 100k p/w

They have to cut their wage bill by 15-20%. Dzeko wages were more at Roma than Lukaku's were, so if they're bringing Dzeko in I imagine it's similar wages to Lukaku's. They can't afford to pay Lautaro what we can.

Ah yes, that familiar whiff of disappointment as the star striker we get linked with decides he wants to play elsewhere. We’re so selling Kane and replacing him with utter shit.

im not sure what he earns i saw it speculated it was 40k ish a week, i think his agent will be looking at about that lukaku wage though especially if our offer would be that or higher.

Kanes agent didnt come up with quotes he wants to stay and extend his contract and is happy here. Guess there is a slight difference.

No he didn't. But you don't know which club is controlling the agent here - and which deal is more beneficial to his back pocket (new deal vs transfer).

Number of things at play. All it goes to show is that "something is going on with him". I don't think we can be any more or less certain than that. Same with any rumour.

Probably, and I really hope we can sign him obviously. Just don't like the signs.
