Lukaku is Ibrahimovic-esque & built for success in Serie A, says Inter legend Bergomi

Romelu Lukaku has been likened to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with Inter legend Giuseppe Bergomi expecting the powerful Belgian to thrive in Serie A while needing to offer more in Europe.

A £75 million ($98m) deal took the 26-year-old to San Siro during the summer of 2019.

He had made no secret of his desire to take on a new challenge in Italy at some point, having built his reputation in the Premier League.
