Both clubs have made contact with Inter to enquire about Perisic’s situation.

Spanish publication AS claim Turan’s agent Ahmet Bulut is exploring his options and a return to his boyhood club Galatasaray has been mooted.
But Manchester United are also listed as potential suitors with Jose Mourinho a long-term admirer of the 30-year-old.
AS claim Turan has met Mourinho numerous times and the chance to link up this summer is a possibility.
The attacking midfielder’s agent also has a close working relationship with Mourinho’s representative, Jorge Mendes, with the pair working on deals involving players moving in and out of Turkey in the past.
Roberto eyeing Man Utd or Chelsea
10:15: Sergi Roberto is considering leaving Barcelona with Manchester United and Chelsea both keen to sign him.
Spanish newspaper Sport claim Paulinho’s arrival from Guangzhou Evergrande has left Roberto fearing for his place.
He is now set to make a decision on his future this week and Manchester United and Chelsea are both feasible options.
Sport claim United and Chelsea would both be willing to meet his €40million (£36.3m) release clause.
Martial urged to snub Inter
09:30: Anthony Martial should stay and fight for his place at Manchester United and not move to Inter Milan, says Emmanuel Petit.
“Manchester United, they are building a team to play for the title this year,” he told SFR Sport.
“They will play the Champions League, he (Martial) will have playing time and the competitions will be long until the end of the year.
“So going to Inter which is under reconstruction, there are a lot of uncertainties at this level there.
“It’s a risk to take but I think he has the qualities to claim to play more at Manchester United.
“Whether it is on the left side or even in the centre, he has already shown that he has the instinct of a scorer.”
