Speaking to Il Corriere della Sera, Inter Milan CEO Giuseppe Marotta said: "Romelu Lukaku was sold for €115 million and we bought Edin Dzeko for free.
"On the pitch, there isn't much difference. Lukaku left to double his salary [in the Premier League], in Italy these figures can't exist.
"Today, we can't make important investments. I wouldn't be allowed to sign Lukaku for €75 million. We need reduced and specific investments."
Inter sold Lukaku to Chelsea in the summer transfer window and brought in Dzeko on a free transfer from AS Roma as a replacement.
So far this season, Dzeko has scored 8 goals in 14 games across all competitions while Lukaku has found the net 4 times in 11 outings.
