Exclusive: Agents wanted release clause for Man Utd target

09 set 2017

Agents of Inter star Ivan Perisic wanted to include a release clause in the player’s new contract but Inter failed to match the contract demands of their star. According to our sources, the entourage of Perisic wanted to keep a door open for a possible future move of the Croat in the Premier League but Inter did not accept their request.

Perisic’s Inter contract extension was announced yesterday. The Manchester United target has signed a new deal until 2022 and has received an important pay-rise.

Perisic was on a € 2.5 million-a-year deal and his new salary in Milan is believed to be in the region of € 4.5 million, bonuses included.

During the last summer transfer window Manchester United had offered € 45 million to sign the 26-year-old but Inter refused to sell him for less than € 55 million.

The contract extension of the Croatia International means Manchester United’s hopes to land Perisic in the future have basically came to an end.
