INTER MILAN boss Luciano Spalletti has admitted Ivan Perisic will join Manchester United if the price is right.
The Croatian international is the next man Jose Mourinho wants to add to his squad at Old Trafford. Red Devils chiefs are locked in talks with the Serie A giants over the winger as they attempt to negotiate a deal.
And they will have been boosted by Spalletti’s latest comments.
The former Roma manager said: “He is a fantastic player and if his future was totally up to me, I would definitely keep him.
“However, if an offer comes and the club are satisfied with the money, which will be used to invest in and strengthen the team, he could leave.”
Perisic, 28, has been taken on Inter’s pre-season tour of China.
The San Siro outfit are continuing to play hard ball with United as they haggle over the fee for the flanker. Mourinho’s chief transfer negotiator Ed Woodward is only prepared to pay around £40million.
Inter are holding out for an offer closer to £50m.
Perisic scored 11 goals and grabbed 11 assists in an impressive campaign for the Nerazzurri last season.
United have been splashing the cash this summer but have only been able to bring in two recruits so far.
