Manchester United have been on the trail of Inter Milan and Croatian
winger Ivan Perisic. The 28 year old has been the subject of several
bids that have been turned down by the Seria A club.
However, manager, Luciano Spalletti has claimed that the club would
listen to the right offers that is difficult to reject for the winger
who joined the two time European champions two years ago from
bundesliga side Wolfsburg.
"He's an important player in the team and we're counting on him to
start the new season," the former Roma manager said.
Then he opened the door on the possibility of a deal being done with
the rumours linking him away from the club and series of failed bid
from Man United.
"Sure, there were rumours, but the status quo is that we want to keep Perisic.
"Having said that, if someone comes in with a very difficult offer to
reject, then we'll consider that.
The sticking point for both sides is the fee. Inter are reported to
want close to £50m for the winger who has 17 goals from 70 appearances
in two seasons at the San Siro. While Manchester United are not
willing to go close to that figure.
With the start of new season getting close both clubs would be eager
to find a amicable settlement that they would be happy with, because
as Spalletti claimed the club still have to find an alternative for
Perisic if he leaves.
"But, of course, we'll need to find a valid alternative for Perisic as
well." he concluded
