Manchester United are now on the verge of completing a deal for Ivan Perisic before Inter Milan jet out to China on a pre-season tour.
Premier League giants Manchester United have now agreed in principle with Inter Milan over a £40million transfer fee for Ivan Perisic.
The Croatian midfielder is now on the verge of becoming Manchester United’s third signing this summer following the arrival of Romeleu Lukaku and Victor Lindelof.
Inter were holding out for a transfer fee of £50m for Perisic but Manchester United have now agreed with Inter a take-it-or-leave-it final offer of £40m for the Croatian man as the Serie A club are on the brink of signing Lazio star Keita Balde after enquiring about a loan deal for Anthony Martial.
FootTheBall had earlier reported that Perisic has agreed personal terms with Man Utd and wants the Serie A club to finalise his move to Man Utd as soon as possible.
Sources reveal that the Croatian man will take home a wage packet of £100,000 on a four-year deal with the Red Devils.
And now Jose Mourinho will shift his attention to out-of-favour Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic who has not travelled with the Blues squad on their pre-season tour.
Matic has been heavily linked with a move to Man Utd this summer.
It is understood that the Serbian midfielder will go down the pecking order at Chelsea after the arrival of Monaco star Tiemoue Bakayoko.
And it is believed that Mourinho will capitalise upon this opportunity to lure away Matic to Old Trafford.
