Manchester United have informed Inter they have seven days to wrap up a deal for Romelu Lukaku, claims The Daily Mirror.
Inter have been pursuing Lukaku all summer and have had several bids rejected for the Belgium international.
United will allow Lukaku to leave the club this summer but only if their £80m valuation is met, which Inter have so far failed to do.
The Serie A giants desperately want to sign Lukaku but are struggling to raise the funds to afford a deal without selling former captain Mauro Icardi.
New Inter manager Antonio Conte has made it clear neither Icardi nor Radja Nainggolan are part of his first-team plans this season but the club are struggling to offload both players.
The transfer window for Premier League clubs shuts on August 8 and Inter are running out of time to conclude a deal for Lukaku.
United will officially take Lukaku off the market in a week’s time, as they will have to find a replacement for the 26-year-old if he leaves this summer.
Marcus Rashford has leapfrogged Lukaku in the pecking order under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and does not want to stay at the club as second choice.
Lukaku has scored more Premier League goals than any other United player (28) since moving to Old Trafford two years ago but he has underwhelmed since arriving from Everton for £75m.
