Manchester United ready to end interest in Ivan Perisic and move for £40million Fiorentina ace Federico Bernardeschi
MANCHESTER UNITED are to turn their attention to Fiorentina starlet Federico Bernardeschi if Inter Milan continue to demand £50million for Ivan Perisic.
Perisic has been a top target for United so far this summer but Jose Mourinho is believed to be ready to ditch his interest in the Croatian for Bernardeschi.

According to Mediaset Premium, the Red Devils are set to end their interest in Perisic to secure a move for the Under-21 international who starred in Serie A last season.
Bernardeschi is refusing to sign a new deal with Fiorentina, which would make it easier for United if they were to pursue him.
But United would face competition for his signature from Juventus, who are favourites to sign the 23-year-old.
Chelsea have also been linked with a move for the winger and it is thought Fiorentina would prefer to sell him abroad rather than to the Italian champions.

The San Siro outfit believe they have some leverage due to Mourinho wanting to conclude all of his transfer business by July.
