Belgium international Romelu Lukaku has backed Alexis Sanchez to become an important player for Inter Milan. The Chilean was initially expected to make his comeback from a hamstring injury with Manchester United but he could not resist the prospect of joining the Nerazzurri when they approached for a season-long loan before the European transfer deadline.

Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici has said that the club are content with the striking options at hand for the forthcoming campaign. The Bianconeri have been regularly linked with a move for Inter Milan’s Mauro Icardi this summer, but so far, there has been no breakthrough in terms of a transfer deal for the Argentine.
