Has he been posting anything on his social media to give us any hints of his plans/future? I don't follow him but even if he usually does post regularly and now he's not that could be telling.

I hate the fact that I'm asking about it to have an idea.

his post are normal. Thanked Conte, showed that he's still working out, a sponsor post and a going to vacation post. I am sure he's disappointed that Conte is gone, but I think he's a professional and understands the situation. He also has to have his mind on Euro.

I'd rather we don't sell anyone, but if we have to sell someone, it has to be him.

He's 28, and his value would probably never be higher, he just came from the best season of his career playing for his favorite coach that build the team completely around him and pampered him in every way possible. It's very likely that he'll never perform as good as last season.

My dream would be selling him for €100-120M to City or Chelsea and getting Vlahović for €50-60M.

It's only a dream selling Lukaku for 100-120m. I don't see an offer more than 60-80m and it is ok. As you say hes's 28yo. He won't get any better. Either he will remain with that team in his 30' years or that team will take a financial loss, if he will underperform.
I like Lukaku, he was what we had wish for, when we pay thet hefty sum to satisfy Conte. But it is the most logical move to sell him for big buckets.

I don't know man, if relative but if Kane is actually going for €150M and Vlahović for €50-60M then €100-120M for Lukaku is completely reasonable. COVID prices cannot only apply to Inter.

This. Lukaku's peak value will be exactly this summer, probably right after Euros. Bidding war between City and Chelsea please after Euros. Sell him for 100m€ and be done with it. No more big sales required, we keep the young core and can even buy someone to replace him.

Next summer he's gonna be 29 and those English clubs aren't gonna break the bank for him anymore, specially as they have probably got their CFs by then (this summer).

It's not about COVID prices. It's about supply and demand. The basic oldest rule of economics. If someone want Lukaku badly because he believe he would be an important piece of the puzzle, then we could milk them. The same with Conte. He wanted Lukaku and only Lukaku, so we pay probably more then United hoped for.
Let's hope there is another one that is dispose to pay a hefty price for him.

I don't think that we can ignite a bidding war for two reasons. The first one is because everyone knows that we are desperate and the second is that Lukaku is a cheaper alternative to Kane and Halland. I mean, neither City nor Chelsea will spend 120+mln for him, when they can get anyone of the above-mentioned players for 150mln.
The best I hope is 100mln + some bonuses.

If they offer 70m, I would drive him myself to the airport. We need to fucking calibrate our expectations.

For his age and current ability, I’d definitely sell Lukaku for 100+ Million if the offer ever arrived. The only thing stopping this would be the player himself.

Osimhen cost 70m euro last season. Arsenal spent 70m on fucking pepe. Fuck that. Rom is worth way more than 70m.

This is what infuriates me with our selling policy.We have already let the whole world know we are desperate and so we get a lowball 60 m offer for Hakimi.Even if its just the start of negotiations.FFS its PSG and if it has to be a sale go and get 80+ mil for Hakimi and get a 100 mil for Lukaku.Stop telling the whole world we are desperate like we have already done and like how we do almost every time.Sick of this club giving discounts.

I prefer we sell Lukaku now for 100 or atleast 90+ bonuses and next summer Hakimi can leave for 75+.

Benzema is top 2 striker in the world with Lewy and Ballon d'Or candidate. Real Madrid ain't gonna downgrade.
