Man Utd don't want to pay more than £45m for the player, but Inter are refusing to dip below their £50m valuation.

Perisic’s agent Fali Ramadani met San Siro transfer guru Walter Sabatini this week tp try and thrash out a deal.

However he was told Inter will be standing firm and not negotiating down their asking price.

The player wants to move and he's let it know to senior figures at his club.

Inter manager Luciano Spalletti wants to keep him.

He's ordered Perisic to join up with the rest of his squad for a pre-season training camp in northern Italy.

And he wants the winger with him when Inter jet off to China on Tuesday for their pre-season tour of the Far East.

Spalletti doesn't want to sell because he knows getting in a top-quality like-for-like replacement this summer will prove tricky.
