The Italian Sports Paper says, Pep Guardiola has pinpointed Lukaku as an ideal reinforcement for his squad at the top of the Premier League.

The Belgian has plenty of experience in England with Everton and City’s rivals Manchester United, but confessed the diet and fitness work he’s been doing at Inter under Antonio Conte has taken him to “another level.”

Guardiola had already made an initial approach for Lukaku over the summer, after his impressive first season at San Siro, Gazetta claims.

The interest in the player is believed to still be in motion, however, the Belgium international has found the form of his life at the Italian club and has no plan to leave.

In 84 competitions for Inter, Lukaku has scored 58 goals since joining the Nerazzurri in 2019.

Currently, Antonio Conte's Inter sits at the number one spot of the Italian Serie A table with 62 points while AC Milan and Juventus are second (56 points) and third (52 points) respectively.
