Inter Milan to insert release clause in Ivan Perisic contract?

Inter Milan have reportedly taken steps to ward off any future approaches for winger Ivan Perisic.

Throughout the summer, Perisic has been linked with a transfer to Manchester United, but the Croatian wideman eventually remained at San Siro.

According to Tuttosport, that has led to Inter offering a new contract to Perisic as they attempt to secure his long-term future at the club.

It has been claimed that a release clause of £64m will be inserted into the deal, with United having allegedly been unprepared to bid much in excess of £40m for the 28-year-old.

Perisic - who has scored 21 goals in 81 appearances for Inter - is happy in Italy, according to national team boss Ante Cacic.
