United to miss out on Perisic who decides to stay at Inter
Ivan Perisic has decided that he will remain at Inter Milan this summer, according to Corriere dello Sport journalist Xavier Jacobelli, as cited by the Daily Star.
Manchester United and Inter Milan have held discussions throughout the summer over a deal for the Croatian, but have been unable to agree on a fee for the player.
Perisic has been earmarked as one of Jose Mourinho’s key summer signings as he went in search of additional width in his squad.
Inter were thought to be demanding somewhere in the region of £48 million for the player who they signed from Wolfsburg in 2015 for just shy of £15 million.
United have been busy in the summer transfer window already, signing Romelu Lukaku, Victor Lindelof and Nemanja Matic, with the latter the most recent arrival at Old Trafford.
Both Lukaku and Matic played a key role in United’s 4-0 thrashing of West Ham on the opening day of the season.
