The Serie A side have already issued a hands off warning to clubs interested in the Croatian international's services.

And Inter boss Luciano Spalletti recently revealed that the former Borussia Dortmund ace is "determined to stay" at the San Siro.

It was believed that the Portuguese man had given up on his quest to lure away the winger to the Theatre of Dreams.

However according to the Daily Mail, the Europa League winners are still interested in Perisic, as they seek more pace on the flanks.

They report that the ex-Chelsea manager is concerned that his men do not shift the ball quick enough when on the attack.

United have already had a £35million bid rejected by the Italian side earlier on in the window, as they hold out for an offer of £50m.

Inter are keen to tie Perisic down to a new deal as they look to put an end to speculation surrounding his future.

Barcelona emerged as a shock destination last week, but they look set to complete deals for Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele instead.

While Chelsea are also keeping tabs on the ex-Wolfsburg fan favourite after they suffered a 3-2 loss at the hands of Burnley last Saturday.
