INTER MILAN have denied that Ivan Perisic’s departure from their Alpine training camp casts doubt on the player’s future – despite Manchester United’s interest in the player.
Manchester United are keen to sign playmaker Perisic before the summer is out.
The Red Devils are angling for a big-money deal and have already had bids rejected by Inter.
The two clubs are currently locked in a stalemate over the player’s transfer fee, with reports that United are yet to meet the Serie A side’s valuation.
The San Siro side want £49million for their man but United have so far bid just £26m.
And Italian website Calciomercato claim the stand-off is no closer to being completed and that Perisic’s departure from Inter’s pre-season camp in the Alpine town of Reischach has nothing to do with United’s interest.
The outlet has a reporter in Reischach, who has been informed that Perisic has today travelled to Croatia to get an dental abscess seen to.
The player wanted to head to a trusted dentist in his home country and he will miss Inter’s pre-season match with Nurnberg today, which is scheduled to kick off at 4pm.
Inter have told Calciomercato that Perisic’s absence does not affect his status in the side.
But the 28-year-old’s representatives are expecting another bid from United, who have already spent £100m on two new players this summer.
United boss Jose Mourinho has a list of targets that officials back at Old Trafford are working to sign.
It has emerged a deal for Perisic involving Anthony Martial as a makeweight could be struck between the two sides.
Mourinho and his squad are currently in the USA on their pre-season tour, while Inter plan to jet out to China later this month.
