The Croatia international has been linked with a move to Manchester United in recent weeks, with Jose Mourinho a huge admirer of the winger.

Perisic, 28, has reportedly agreed a deal with the Red Devils but Inter and United cannot agree on a transfer fee.

And Inter boss Luciano Spalletti has opened up on the prospect of losing his star man this summer, claiming he will listen to his exit plea.

“I will speak to everyone and clearly for those who are ‘distracted’ there will be different words,” said Spalletti.

“I will listen to him, I have no doubts. I am counting on him, but we’ll have to understand his intentions.

“It would not be nice for me to hear him say words like: ‘I want to leave’. We’ll see.

“You keep talking about Perisic and his desire to leave, but first I need to listen to his own words and then we’ll decide how to act.

“In any case, I will say this: We are Inter and we can opt to make different decisions compared to ideas of the players.

“I hope to have him in the side, I am counting on it and I am positive in that sense.”

Perisic netted 11 goals and chipped in with eight assists in Italy last season.
