Manchester City are firming up their interest in Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku.
Sergio Aguero looks set to leave this summer after 10 years at the Etihad Stadium, and City are looking to a high-profile target to replace their talisman.
The Athletic reports Lukaku is high up in those discussions, with the Inter striker widely admired at the club.
The Belgium international has been in inspired form for the Serie A side this season, scoring 20 times across all competitions for Antonio Conte's men.
He has been cited as the driving factor behind their title push this season, too, with his goals keeping them within touching distance of rivals Milan at the summit of Italy's top flight.
Lukaku joined Inter from City's rivals Manchester United, however, it is reported that there are no concerns over the player's ties to his former club.
