Inter Milan were the only side until this point to have concrete interest in the Belgian, but now their Italian rivals have entered the race. Lukaku has not had the best time since joining Manchester United, and Paulo Dybala had similar fortunes last season in Turin.<\/p>\n<p>The Argentine striker struggled as second fiddle to <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/dea698d9\/Cristiano-Ronaldo?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cristiano Ronaldo<\/a>\u00a0and now looks to be on the way out.

The deal will be worth \u00a372 million, which the Gunners will pay in instalments. Arsenal beat off competition from Napoli, who also met Lille&#8217;s valuation for him, but P\u00e9p\u00e9 rejected the Italian side.<\/p>\n<p>The Ivorian scored 23 goals last season for Lille, and has been heavily linked with a move to <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/feeds\/liverpoolfootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Liverpool<\/a> among other clubs. This will spend the end of Arsenal&#8217;s pursuit of <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/b2bc3b1f\/Wilfried-Zaha?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wilfried Zaha<\/a>, put off by his \u00a380 million price-tag.<\/p>\n<h3>Inter Milan To Replace Nainggolan With Vidal<\/h3>\n<p>Ramiro Aldunate of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/barcelona\/2019\/07\/26\/5d3a278fca47410f178b4645.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marca<\/a> claims that Inter Milan could replace <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/1f9328da\/Radja-Nainggolan?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Radja Nainggolan<\/a> with Barcelona midfielder <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/67cdbc0e\/Arturo-Vidal?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arturo Vidal<\/a>.

The Portuguese striker&#8217;s\u00a0\u20ac35 million move to Italy is reportedly &#8216;imminent&#8217;. Lille picked him up on a free transfer after he cancelled his contract with Sporting Lisbon. They will now receive 20% of a transfer fee if Milan sell.<\/p>\n<p>The 20-year-old striker drew comparisons with <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/42fd9c7f\/Kylian-Mbappe?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kylian Mbapp\u00e9<\/a> regarding his style of play.
