Reports in Italy this morning suggest that Inter has already identified their replacement for Croatian midfielder Ivan Perisic. La Gazzetta dello Sport writes that the 28-year-old, who has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, could be replaced at the San Siro by 21-year-old Monaco star Thomas Lemar.
 

The pink journal claims that the Nerazzurri will pocket around €50M for the sale of Perisic and will use this to try to tempt the youngster from Guadeloupe to Serie A next term. Reports suggest that sporting director Piero Ausilio has already made contact with the player’s representatives and is set to continue discussions in the coming weeks.
