Inter Milan 'prepared to sell Ivan Perisic to Manchester United'

Inter Milan are willing to open talks with Manchester United over a deal for winger Ivan Perisic, according to a report.

The Red Devils wanted to sign the Croatia international last summer, only for his valuation to massively increase on the back of a stellar World Cup.

United are believed to still retain an interest in Perisic, despite boss Jose Mourinho being replaced by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last month, and a move could still go through later this year.

Tuttosport claims that Inter are keen to bring in a number of new faces at the end of the season, with Real Madrid ace Luka Modric among their targets, and they are therefore prepared to sell Perisic to help finance their summer splurge.

The 29-year-old, who has three goals and two assists in Serie A this season, is understood to be valued at £45m.
