Manchester United target Ivan Perisic has been named in Inter Milan’s pre-season squad for their tour of China.

It’s understood the Red Devils are closing in on a £44million move for Perisic, with the 28-year-old winger desperate to secure a switch to Old Trafford ahead of the 2017/18 campaign.

Jose Mourinho may have to wait to land the Croatian, however, after Inter boss Luciano Spalletti named his 28-man party for their trip to Shanghai on Tuesday afternoon.

Ed Woodward stayed in England to complete a deal for Perisic, as United traveled to the United States for their pre-season tour, but Inter are desperate to keep hold of their prized possession.

Mourinho was asked about his interest for Perisic after United’s win over Real Salt Lake but the manager remained coy over a potential move.

‘No idea. No idea my friend. No idea,’ he told the media.

The Red Devils have already had two offers turned down for Perisic in recent weeks.
