Of course I wouldn't. I've never even heard of this guy before he was linked to us. The only reason I said do it is because I'm assuming it's a player conte wants. If it's not someone conte wants then im 150% against this deal.40m for a unproven kid, just because he is big and strong? That is just ridiculous. This is a kid not yet considered good enough to be Andre Silva's back up for Portugal. He hasn't even scored for Portugal U21 yet, was a bench player for Portugal U21 who didn't even quality for the EuroU21. I would be ok if it was a Karamoh kind of deal (8m punt), but 40m? This sounds more moronic than the Gabigol transfer.
Moise Kean is also young, is a starter for Italian NT, and has already had a break through season in Serie A for a top team. He costs 40m. Would you prefer Leao over Kean?
Let me be clear about something, I'm all in for conte at this point. If I had a 100 million budget, and conte is 100% sure he sees no alternatives to Lukaku, I'd be more than willing to spend the whole 100 on Lukaku. If this is absolutely what he wants to build the team around and no one else.
