Manchester United had set the asking price to Romelu Lukaku, his scorer, but resigned to losing to Chelsea, his opponent in the Premier League, in pursuit of former Liverpool couturier Philippe Coutinho.
That 's no secret, the Belgian international and former Everton striker Lukaku want to get to the Old Trafford exit this summer after enduring a difficult stint at United.
And according to the Times, the Red Devils have set a price of 80 million pounds sterling to the attacker.
The report indicates that United is ready to let the Belgian leave but at a huge price.
Inter Milan are looking to recruit the former Everton striker while the new boss Antonio Conte seeks to rebuild his team in Serie A.
They are not willing to match the badessment and can look for a first loan move for the 2019/20 season.
Meanwhile, Coutinho should miss United while Chelsea remains on track to capture the Brazilian, while Londoners are under embargo on transfers.
According to Chelsea, Coutinho could replace Eden Hazard, who should join Real Madrid this summer, reports the Mirror.
The Blues are currently subject to a transfer ban for the next two periods, until the end of January 2020, for violating the rules governing the acquisition of players under 18 years of age.
But they are ready to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Coutinho could leave the Barca after failing after transferring 142 million pounds of Liverpool.
And United should also miss City, rival Manchester, in pursuit of Benfica star Joao Felix.
A report indicates that the city's general manager, Ferran Soriano, met Portuguese presidents Luis Filipe Vieira and Jorge Mendes in London.
