Mourinho still wants United to sign Perisic

Jose Mourinho has launched a bid to Manchester United so that they can sign Ivan Perisic.

So far, the Red Devils haven’t met current club Inter’s asking price, reported to be in the €55 million.

Mourinho, a former Inter Coach, has commented on the Red Devils’ current transfer window (Romelu Lukaku, Victor Lindelof, Nemanja Matic) by saying that “I was hoping for four players” in a press conference, and said that he wanted the last one - a strong hint being that it was Perisic.

“The squad is good and, as I told a few months ago, I was hoping for four players to improve the squad,” Mourinho said on Manchester United’s tour.
 
“The club did a fantastic job,absolutely fantastic, by getting three of them, which is difficult in the crazy market where we are now.
 
“To get three out of four, I thank the club for that. I would be happier if they gave me four of four but they did a great effort for me.”

The reports come, however, just as Sky Italia confirm that the Nerazzurri are talking with the 28-year-old about a new deal.
