Given the doubts generated by Lukaku's performance, Inter have started to work on his future. Marotta's idea is to look for another big name who is affordable for the balance sheet, and the perfect profile is that of Roberto Firmino. The Brazilian could leave Liverpool as a free agent and, according to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', the Nerazzurri are seriously considering signing him.
Obviously, the signing would only be possible with the departure of the Belgian, whose continuity will depend on his contribution, so far disastrous. If the striker does not show a good level in the second half of the season, the Italians will let him return to Chelsea and will need a replacement who can provide them with experience and goals.

The 31-year-old striker, for his part, is no longer indispensable for Klopp and has received several proposals to start a new journey. Milan are doing the maths. Lukaku cost them 20 million euros this year between the loan and his salary, while Firmino, now, earns in Liverpool 10 million, which would be around 20 million gross.
Firmino still not renewing with Liverpool
However, with the 'Crescita Decree', the Italian Beckham Law, if the striker were to accept a salary of 8 million net, it would cost the club 'barely' 10.5: slightly less than what Lukaku's loan has cost and the same as Dzeko's salary is now worth. With these conditions, the board's approval would be guaranteed.
