Conte has given an update on Inter’s pursuit of the 26-year-old forward, claiming that he is “very hopeful” of being able to sign the Belgian.
“We continue to work on it in the best possible way. I understand there are some gaps that need to be filled but at the moment I am very hopeful that this will happen,” Conte told reporters. “At the same time, I’m working with a great group of players that gives me lots of satisfaction.”
Nerazzurri are believed to be preparing a new £65m bid for Romelu Lukaku in the hope of convincing the Red Devils to sell in the latter stages of the transfer window.
