Manchester United have contacted Inter Milan with a proposal to buy Ivan Perisic in a deal worth over €40million, reports say.
Perisic has been repeatedly linked with a move to the Premier League and the Croatia international
The Portuguese boss is a huge admirer of the dynamic winger and believes he is an ideal signing to bolster his squad at Old Trafford.
According to Sky Italia, United have once again approached Inter, hoping to come to an agreement to sign Perisic who has been one of most impressive performers in Serie A over the past two seasons.
It is claimed negotiations were resumed on Monday morning, with United raising their original proposal worth €40m.
However, the Premier League giants have been told that it will take an offer in excess of €50m for Inter to consider selling the star man.
New Inter boss, Luciano Spalletti, sees Perisic as a hugely important member of his squad and the club will only do business if a suitable offer is on the table.
Meanwhile, Mourinho is closing in on a deal to bring Spain international Alvaro Morata to the Theatre of Dreams – United are reportedly aiming to finalise his move by the end of the week.
