Man United still chasing Serie A winger to keep Jose Mourinho happy – report
Jose Mourinho has made signing Ivan Perisic one of Manchester United's priorities this summer, according to reports
Manchester United are still looking to sign Ivan Perisic as Jose Mourinho persists in his pursuit of a wide player in the summer transfer window, according to reports in the English media.
The Independent is reporting that the Red Devils are still keeping tabs on the Croatia international despite being well short of Inter Milan’s excessive transfer fee demands.
The same article goes on to say that Perisic is a vital component of Mourinho’s transfer recruitment plan this summer as the Manchester United boss looks to address a lack of width in his side.
According the English media outlet, Inter Milan are demanding £50m for the player despite Perisic moving to the San Siro in a £16m deal just two seasons ago from Bundesliga club Wolfsburg.
Manchester United aren’t willing to match Inter Milan’s asking price as Mourinho looks to conclude his transfer business before the start of their pre-season campaign in the United States.
On a positive note, the same article reveals that agreeing personal terms with Perisic won’t be a problem as the Croatia star is desperate to move to Manchester United this summer.
