Gazzetta dello Sport, in their Wednesday edition, take a look at big Serie A transfers which could potentially happen in the summer window. For Inter Milan, the topic of Ivan Perisic keeps popping up.
Now, having got used to the €60m figure, the Italian media believe Inter would be quite accepting of a deal at that amount. Gazzetta claim Manchester United and Chelsea are in ‘first place’ to sign the player, however, it’s hard to see either Mourinho or Antonio Conte sanctioning a €60m move.
Perisic is a good player but he’s not a €60m player, and given that he’s 28 there’d be little prospect of his value increasing from that figure. It’s unlikely that, at €60m, Perisic is a genuine consideration for either club right now.
Should Anthony Martial leave Manchester United, which would be a surprise, then Mourinho interest in Perisic would make more sense, if not at the price quoted. Conte has a certain Eden Hazard attacking from the left, so has no huge need for the Croatian.
