Reputed Croatian agent Marko Naletilic has backed Ivan Perisic to remain at Inter Milan beyond the summer transfer window. The 29-year-old was one of the standout performers for Croatia during their runner-up finish at the World Cup and he has since been linked with a probable move to Manchester United.
Inter Milan have reached out to Real Madrid over the possibility of signing Luka Modric this summer. Reports in Italy claim the club met with the player’s agents, and surprisingly a move could be in the offing. The 32-year old is a starter for Madrid, and with Cristiano Ronaldo and former Coach Zinedine Zidane out, it might be too much too soon for Madrid to sanction Modric’s exit.
Inter Milan is emerging as a dark horse for the Serie A title. Napoli, Roma and perhaps AC Milan were expected to present the toughest challenges to Juventus’ bid for a seventh straight league title. But after beating Roma comprehensively in the Italian capital as well as collecting victories over Fiorentina and Spal, Inter Milan could pose a serious threat.
There are media reports that Italian club Inter Milan might make an approach to loan out of favor Manchester United forward Henrikh Mkhitaryan on a loan deal until the end of the season.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan who has fallen down the pecking order since a run of poor displays for the English side might be keen to move away from Manchester United in order to rediscover his best form. He has reportedly had a disagreement with Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho after both men could not agree on a video analysis.

Ivan Perisic has signed a new Inter Milan contract to end Jose Mourinho’s hopes of luring him to Manchester United.
The 28-year-old Croatia winger, the subject of a transfer tug-of-war between Inter and Manchester United over the summer, was among the best performers for the Nerazzurri last season.
He opened his account for the 2017/18 campaign with a goal against Fiorentina last month and in a club statement Inter revealed they were “delighted” to secure him until June 2022.
Perisic told inter.it: “It’s a special day for me, an emotional and happy one after the stress of the summer. Now we are all looking forward and I’m only thinking about Inter.
“For a long time I kept my counsel, and now I can say that the head coach (Luciano Spalletti) told me that I could be an even better version of myself here.
“We’ve done well in the first two matches of the season and we need to continue that way.” Continue reading PERISIC COMMITS FUTURE TO INTER MILAN
Manchester United can still add another forward this season as Jose Mourinho seeks to bolster the attack at Old Trafford.
Inter manager Lucio Spalletti says the club wants to retain the 28-year old winger but the situation at hand might force them to reluctantly sell the former Wolfsburg star. The coach said if the player is to leave, only the right price would be accepted.
“We want to keep Perisic. He’s a very important player for the team. We are counting on him to start the new season. But if somebody comes in with a very difficult offer to reject then we will consider that, but of course we need to find a valid alternative for Perisic as well,” Spaletti said.

Inter Milan are desperate for the best of the best managers in European football.
Reports in Italy say Inter have turned their focus to Spurs’ manager Mauricio Pochettino. The 45-year old Argentine has been impressive at White Hart Lane. He has gotten a youthful side, with a decent budget, that have been serious contenders for the Premier League for two years now.
There are reports that Pochettino has a buy-out clause in his contract of £4.2 million. Inter want to offer him £8.5 million per year if he agrees to the move.
The manager has insisted that he remains focused on achieving something with Spurs. He has avoided being drawn on various speculations over his future. He is set to remain with the London club until 2021. He agreed new terms last year. Continue reading INTER MILAN WANT POCHETTINO
Inter Milan might have interfered with Chelsea’s plans to force manager Antonio Conte to commit to a new deal. Inter are planning to heavily influence the Italian coach to return home after one successful season in England.
Chelsea are hoping the last two months of the Premier League go as planned. It so, it would see Conte lift the Premier League in his first year in charge. There is also the FA Cup which Chelsea are favourites though there are threats in Man City, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. Conte could really do the double in his first year.
The Stamford Bridge management believes they have the season in the bag so they seem to be planning ahead. Hence, pressuring Conte to promise to spend more time at the club. Continue reading MILAN WANT CONTE THIS SUMMER
Serie A giant are targeting a return to elite European football so they want the best legs to help them.
The club is backed by wealthy Suning Group so they are willing to flex their financial muscles to lure Paris St Germain talent Marco Verratti and Marquinhos as well.
Inter Milan badly want to replicate the successes they were known for in the past. The 2010 World Cup champions were even rumoured to be interested in attempting a near impossible – luring five-time Ballon d’Or champ Lionel Messi away from the Nou Camp. Interim manager Stefano Pioli allegedly killed such pipe dream but top football news source Corriere dello Sport claim that the light has been refocused on landing arguably the best Premier League player this term Sanchez next summer. Continue reading INTER MAKE SANCHEZ NUMBER ONE TARGET YET AGAIN
Serie A giant Inter Milan have reportedly sent scouts to watch James Rodriguez of Real Madrid as the Spanish sides take on Sporting in the Champions League.
The Suning Group – owners of Inter – have pencilled Rodriguez as one of the club’s top target as they seek to rebuild the team. Reports in Italy say the club is willing to add one of two top stars to the squad, and the Columbia international gets the nod as he has been on their target list for long. Inter made a last minute bid of €85 million for the player on the transfer deadline last summer but the player refused to agree to the move. With Rodriguez dropping in Coach Zinedine Zidane’s priority list at the Bernabeu, he might be forced to agree to a move away from Madrid at the end of the season.
