Romelu Lukaku could be making a big summer move back to England to join another Premier League side Manchester City, reports claim, Daily Mail.

The Citizens are looking to add a natural striker into their ranks after the team played without a No.9 during their 4-1 win over Liverpool at Anfield.

And Argentine striker Sergio Aguero could be on his way out of the club at the end of the summer after spending ten glorious years at the Etihad.

It is understood that talks have already begun with the Belgian striker as City are huge admirers of the Nerazzurri star.

The 27-year-old has been in good goalscoring form with 20 in all competitions this season and has been a major player to Inter's title ambitions this season.

Antonio Conte's men are two points behind city rivals AC Milan at the top of the table and five points ahead of current champions Juventus.

Lukaku left Man United during the summer of 2019 after he was deemed surplus to requirement by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

But reports claim that there are no concerns over Lukaku's ties to the Red Devils if he decides to make a move to City in the summer.

Meanwhile, Aguero's chances of renewing his contract look unlikely in the summer as the 32-year-old has struggled with injury and illness this campaign.

The former Atletico Madrid striker has made just eight league appearances so far this season and is yet to find the back of the net.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Zlatan Ibrahimovic has denied racially abusing former Manchester United teammate Romelu Lukaku during their Coppa Italia quarter-final meeting at the San Siro earlier this week.

Both strikers clashed during the game which ended 2-1 in favour of Antonio Conte's men with Christian Eriksen striking the winner through a stoppage-time free-kick.

The 39-year-old Swede broke the deadlock for his side in the 31st minute but a spot-kick from Lukaku restored parity in the 71st minute. And then the former Spurs star scored the winner.
