Huge release clause inserted into proposed new Perisic contract
Manchester United target Ivan Perisic is set to sign a new deal at Inter Milan, which will include a big release clause.
United had one offer, believed to be £35million, rejected by Inter and were determined to hold out for their £48million valuation.
However, United never upped their bid and despite plenty of conjecture surrounding the potential deal and Mourinho last month accepted he won’t be bringing the player to Old Trafford.
“That’s football,” Mourinho said when asked why United had failed to capture the winger.
“If I was playing against Inter tomorrow I’d want to win.

“They’re strong, they put up a good defence to keep someone who’s an important player for them. That’s football.”
Inter Milan’s sporting director Piero Ausilio also admitted a new deal for Perisic, who they now value a lot higher, was under discussion.
“The same goes for Perisic, who is an important player and we are currently discussing a new contract with him,” said Ausilio last month.
