Manchester United have finally agreed a £40million fee with Inter Milan for winger Ivan Perisic, according to a recent report in The Sun.

The newspaper has revealed that the 27-year-old will fly out to the United States to meet the rest of the United squad and finalise his move to Old Trafford.

It is thought that the Serie A outfit are due to finalise a deal with Keita Balde from Lazio as Perisic’s replacement.

The news follows a recent Sky Sports Italia interview with Inter Milan director Piero Ausilio, who said that the Serie A club had not considered any of Jose Mourinho’s offers for the striker.

However, contrary to the Inter director’s views, the Croatia international now looks close to finalising his move away from the San Siro Stadium.
