A week. That’s all the time Inter have to raise €30m to meet FFP regulations.
As we’ve covered time and time again, the easiest way for them to do this is to sell Ivan Perisic, with Manchester United already making a €40m bid for the Croatia international.
This is, in essence, the update Calciomercato.com provide on Friday, explaining the club has made it clear to the Red Devils that they will not allow any discounts.
Yet to ‘explicitly’ ask for a transfer, reports have suggested Perisic is ready to be a Red Devil, even if Inter’s new manager Luciano Spalletti would prefer his star winger to stay at the club.
The player’s new agent, Fali Ramadani, has been warned by the Serie A club about the situation, and everyone will have to comply by Inter’s rules.
€50-55m or nothing.
Or, and this is just a guess as to how things might pan out, €40m on the 29th of June when they desperately need the money, haven’t sold Marcelo Brozovic, Ever Banega or Jeison Murillo, and could risk facing further sanctions for failing to comply with FFP regulations.
