Jose aims to take Perisic on USA tour
MANCHESTER UNITED are to sign £44million Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic within weeks. Jose Mourinho sees the Croat as a key part of his recruitment push, though a fee has yet to be agreed.
The clubs are in contact and Sportsmail understands the United manager wants the 28-year-old in his squad for next month’s USA tour. An insider said: ‘There’s a keenness to get it done. We’re looking at it going through within weeks.’ After signing £30.7m Benfica defender Victor Lindelof this week, Mourinho also wants Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata.
Madrid are said to want £75m but United value him nearer £60m. There is also fear that Real could renew efforts to buy goalkeeper David de Gea.
