Ivan Perisic has left Inter’s training camp as Manchester United continue talks over a deal for the winger.
The official line from Inter is that the 28-year-old is suffering from a toothache and has left their training base in Riscone di Brunico, Italy to visit his personal dentist in Croatia for treatment.
United have already had two offers rejected for Perisic but an improved bid of €50 million (£44m) was offered this week.
Jose Mourinho’s side opened negotiations with a €40m (£35m) bid, which was rejected by Inter, while their follow-up offer of €45m (£39.5m) was also turned down.
Inter have stood firm over their €55m (£48.2m) asking price but the Serie A club will not keep the winger against his will.
‘Spalletti has asked not to sell Perisic,’ Inter’s technical director Walter Sabatini said on Friday.
‘He wants Perisic as one of his players because he is fantastic. Inter wouldn’t like to sell him but at the same time the club doesn’t want to have an unhappy player.
‘One thing is certain – the price of our players will be set by Inter Milan.
‘We hope Perisic will stay but we will know more in the next day. If Perisic will leave, we want money and a player and we expect Perisic over these next days will show good behaviour.’
