Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku says moving to the Nerazzurri has long been an ambition.

Lukaku left Manchester United this summer for Inter after being pursued by coach Antonio Conte.

He told Corriere dello Sport: "I don't mind being the most expensive player in Inter's history, nor replacing Icardi, who give a lot here in Milan. When I arrived, Mauro was very nice and kind to me. I wish him all the best at Paris-Saint Germain and hope he wins there. We are two different forwards.

"It would be nice to be Capocannoniere, but I'm not the type of player who says I want this or that individual title. I think of the team first. My biggest motivation is helping the team, and to help the team we score goals.

"So far everything has been fine, but I want to do better by working to the maximum every day in training. Now I'm at 100%, but I don't stop, I want to show Inter that they decided well in signing me."

He added: "I've dreamed of Inter for some time. I loved Ronaldo and Adriano, but it was Ibra that taught me everything, especially in our talks on the team bus. I believe he will return to Serie A."
