Transfer: Lukaku's new club, contract, salary finally emerge

Manchester United striker, Romelu Lukaku has finally agreed on a deal to join Juventus in this summer's transfer window.

According to Gazetta dello Sport, the Belgium international will earn £160,000-a-week plus bonuses with the Serie A champions.

Lukaku will earn €9million (£8.2million) per season, a very similar offer to the one he received from Inter Milan.

The newspaper is reporting that the 26-year-old is eager to join Maurizio Sarri's side ahead of next season.

Lukaku was left out of Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's travelling party squad for Tuesday's pre-season friendly win over Kristiansund in Norway as he looks to seal a move away from Old Trafford.

This is coming after we reported on Tuesday that Manchester United and Juventus have agreed on a swap deal in principle involving Paulo Dybala and Romelu Lukaku.

Lukaku scored 12 Premier League goals in 32 appearances for Solskjaer's men last season.

He is expected to play as a backup striker to Gonzalo Higuain in Sarri's squad with Mario Mandzukic also expected to leave Juventus.
