Man United set deadline to sign 28-year-old attacker – report
Manchester United must complete a deal to sign Ivan Perisic by this weekend, according to reports in Italy
Manchester United have been told that they must complete the signing of Ivan Perisic from Inter Milan by this weekend, according to reports in Italy.
Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, as quoted by Metro, is claiming that the Serie A side will not consider selling the 28-year-old Croatian after this weekend.
That’s because Inter Milan need to bring in at least £26m by 1 July in order to avoid a potential Financial Fair Play penalty.
Manchester United have been linked with a bid to bring Persic to Old Trafford in recent weeks but there is yet to be any official confirmation of talks between the two clubs.
And the same article in the Italian newspaper states that Inter Milan will be unwilling to sell Perisic after this weekend passes.
Manchester United are thought to be on the lookout for a number of reinforcements this summer but the Red Devils have so far only confirmed the signing of defender Victor Lindelof from Benfica.
Jose Mourinho will be keen to bolster his squad as he prepares his team for a return to the Champions League next season.
