Inter Milan to sell Ivan Perisic in order to sign Savic

Calcio Mercato claims that Inter Milan are considering offloading Croatian forward and top Manchester United transfer target Ivan Perisic in order to facilitate funds for a potential deal for Lazio's Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

Inter Milan are resigned to having a quiet winter transfer window. However, they are planning ahead of the summer and will look at the end of the season as a time to make some big waves in the market.

Perisic is likely to depart in the summer as it is highly unlikely that Lazio will even consider selling their star player halfway through the season.
