Romelu Lukaku Has 'Picked Up Some Italian' Amid Juventus, Inter Milan Rumours

Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku has said he's "picked up some Italian" amid rumours he could join Serie A giants Juventus or Inter Milan.

Lukaku's brother, Jordan, joined Italian outfit Lazio in 2016, and the United frontman told Sky Sport Italia (h/t Football Italia) that's been one factor in encouraging him to learn the language.

He said: "My brother plays in Italy and I watched Sky Italia to see his games, so I picked up some Italian."

Inter looked like frontrunners to sign Lukaku earlier in the summer but have fallen behind rivals Juve, who are willing to let Paulo Dybala move to Old Trafford as part of the deal, per Sky Sports.
