Inter Milan boss Antonio Conte admits he wants to sign Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku.

Inter and United are locked in talks over a deal for Lukaku, who has yet to feature on his club's pre-season tour while his future remains uncertain.

United want 90million for Lukaku, whom they signed from Everton for 75m in 2017, but Inter only want to pay 60m, plus a further 15m in add-ons.

Asked if he was frustrated at Inter's failure to sign Lukaku, Conte said: I think frustration is a big word. Lukaku is United's player, this is the reality.

I like this player, but also in the past, when I was Chelsea's coach, and I tried to bring him in Chelsea. But today Lukaku is a player of United and this the reality and the truth.

I think that in this moment we are talking about a player of another club and for this reason it's right not to talk about Lukaku, because he's a player of United.

I consider this player important to us to have a great improvement, but at the same time there is a transfer market. We know our situation at the moment and we will see what happens."
