Romelu Lukaku would become Italian football's biggest ever sale if he completes £98m move to Chelsea this summer... but who would the Inter Milan forward overtake as the priciest transfer away from Serie A?

Transfer records continue to be broken despite the coronavirus pandemic affecting clubs' finances ahead of the forthcoming season.

Sportsmail revealed this week that the Belgian's club, Inter Milan, are expecting an improved bid from Chelsea after the £88m-plus-Marcos Alonso offer was rebuffed by the west Londoners.
