Manchester City held 'very concrete' interest in Romelu Lukaku last year before opting against the move, the striker's agent Federico Pastorello has revealed.
Lukaku ultimately re-joined Chelsea in a sensational £98million switch over the summer, leaving Inter Milan for Stamford Bridge, and it has not been confirmed that he believed he had unfinished business at the club.
City have been on the hunt for a new first-choice striker after the departure of Sergio Aguero, and were also eyeing up a number of targets before the veteran departed. On their shortlist was Lukaku, but their approach fell through.
