MANCHESTER UNITED have “everything agreed” to sign Seville star Wissam Ben Yedder if Romelu Lukaku leaves, Spanish reports claim.
Lukaku has his heart set on a switch to Inter Milan with the Belgian’s agent travelling to Italy to hold meetings with the Serie A giants.
United have earmarked Ben Yedder as a replacement, and La Colina de Nervion claim despite interest from PSG and Barcelona, the Frenchman prefers a move to Old Trafford.
The 28-year-old is one of the most feared hitmen in La Liga – scoring 30 times in 51 appearances in all competitions last season.
United chiefs are eyeing Ben Yedder’s £36m release clause if Lukaku secures a summer exit.
New Inter boss Antonio Conte tried to sign the Belgian powerhouse for Chelsea in 2017 but lost out to United.
The Italian is determined to get his man and SunSport revealed the San Siro outfits are flogging two stars to help pay for the 26-year-old.
Inter need to generate funds to meet United’s £75m asking price – and they are set to claw in £40m of that by selling Joao Mario and Dalbert.
Mario, who enjoyed a successful loan deal with West Ham two years ago, is on the verge of completing a £22m switch to Monaco.
And Brazilian left-back Dalbert is also on his way out, with Monaco and their French rivals Lyon battling for his signature in a deal worth £18m.
SunSport understands the first formal offer will be made this weekend now they are moving into a new FFP year.
Inter will first propose an up-front payment of £9m to take the Belgian on a two-year loan basis – with an obligation to make the transfer permanent in 2021 for £53m.
They know that is likely to be quickly rejected by United, who are looking for a permanent deal and a down-payment of around £40m.
