Perisic wants Man United move: Inter Milan star has agreed wages with Mourinho - report
IVAN PERISIC is keen on a move to Manchester United and has agreed terms of his contract, according to reports.
Ivan Perisic scores INCREDIBLE goal against Spurs
The Inter Milan winger has been heavily linked with a switch to Old Trafford in recent weeks following Jose Mourinho’s attempts to bring in a marquee signing.
With Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann out of the equation and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to be released, Perisic is seen as an ideal target.
Perisic predominantly operates as a winger but can play as an attacking midfielder or a second striker.
United are said to have already had a £35m bid rejected but talks are ongoing between both clubs.

And Italian publication Corriere dello Sport report that the attacker has agreed personal terms with Mourinho which would see the midfielder double his earnings to earn £100,000 a week.
Newly-appointed Inter boss Luciano Spalletti is thought to be keen to keep hold of Perisic but the 28-year-old has told him he intends to leave for United.
And with Perisic hoping for a deal to be pushed over the line it is now just a matter of the clubs agreeing a fee to seal his transfer.
The Nerazzurri are refusing to accept less than £44million but despite them playing hardball they may be forced to cash in on him for a lower fee before the end of the month.

Inter need to bring in £26m to balance the books and meet their Financial Fair Play targets by June 30.
The Red Devils could be waiting patiently in order to get him for around £35m but risk losing out to Paris Saint-Germain, who are also said to be making an attempt to sign him.
Croatia international Perisic, who scored 11 goals and provided eight assists in Serie A last season, is under contract at the San Siro until 2020.
