A move for Ivan Perisic to Manchester United looks to be on, and the Independent reports that the Inter Milan winger is “hugely keen and excited” to work with Jose Mourinho.
The Croatia star would cost about £50 million, with the player reportedly already agreeing personal terms with the Red Devils.
The Nerazzurri have sat back and watched Derby della Madonnina rivals AC Milan splash the cash while their situation appears more restricted. United have been given confidence they can prise away the former Wolfsburg star due to Inter’s need to sell with £26m required before the end of June in order to comply with UEFA’s Financial Fair Play.
And United are prepared to pay for Perisic, who is “desperate” for the move after scoring 11 goals and assisting 11 more last season.
Pickford to spark Toffees revolution
Jordan Pickford’s impending £30m move to Everton will trigger a £150m spending spree to launch the Toffees’ assault on a top-four finish next season.
The Sunderland goalkeeper could be followed by the arrivals of Davy Klaassen, Sandro Ramirez and Michael Keane, says the Mirror.
The Ajax captain will be the next player to rock up at Goodison Park in a £25m move before a relative bargain in Sandro follows due to his Malaga contract containing just a £6m release clause.
Ronald Koeman will then account for Ross Barkley’s potential exit by looking to snap up Swansea’s Icelandic star, even if the asking price reaches £30m.
A centre-back, ideally Burnley and England’s Keane, plus another striker will then round off their summer transformation.
