Manchester United are chasing a move for Croatia international Perisic but Inter are playing hardball.
The Serie A side are holding out for around £48million and want Martial on loan as part of any potential deal.
Jose Mourinho will reportedly not entertain the idea of losing the Frenchman and United remain confident they can wrap up a deal for Perisic without having to part with one of their players.
But Italian publication Calcio Mercato claim Martial would be open to a fresh start in Italy and he has already told Inter he will join.
Martial endured a tricky start to the season under Mourinho last term before injuries to the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic saw him given more game time in the latter stages.
Anthony Martial is reportedly open to the idea of joining Inter Milan
In the January transfer window there were reports of Martial trying to push for a move away from Old Trafford that led to Mourinho hitting out at his agent.
“I know he's a top talent, but he needs to listen to me, not his agent," Mourinho said at the time.
"He needs to listen to me in training, where I try to improve the players.
"And with Martial, every day I read the newspaper - Martial goes to Sevilla, Martial goes on loan, he's not happy.
"Martial needs to listen to me. He's a player with amazing condition to be a top player."

Manchester United are keen to bring Ivan Perisic to Old Trafford
Mourinho still sees Martial in his plans for next season but Calcio Mercato claim the forward is ready to join Inter.
His desire for a move to the San Siro will be good news for the Italian outfit but United are adamant they will not be held to ransom over their pursuit of Perisic.
Speaking last week about the Perisic deal, Inter boss Luciano Spalletti admitted he would attempt to block his move to Old Trafford.
"There was a contact a few weeks ago, then the negotiation stopped, so for me it is closed," Spalletti told Italian broadcaster Premium Sport.
"The more days that pass, the more difficult it becomes for us to find a replacement of his calibre.
"I'll strongly oppose his sale."
