Internazionale have named Ivan Perisic in their squad for the club’s pre-season tour of China, as they still haven’t struck a deal with Manchester United over the fee for the 28-year-old Croatian international.

While there had been confidence around the Premier League club over the last few days that they had come closer to a compromise with Inter for a deal, and it is still likely to go through, the Italian side want £48m for the player.

United are closer to meeting that valuation, but Inter are unwilling to budge until it is met and have made that clear in negotiations.

Jose Mourinho had wanted to seal the deal before Inter set off for China on Tuesday, but refused to concede much when asked about it after United’s 2-1 friendly win over Real Salt Lake on Monday, stating that he had “no idea” as to whether the move was closer to completion.

So far this summer Benfica defender Victor Lindelof and Everton striker Romelu Lukaku have arrived at Old Trafford.

Chelsea defensive midfielder Nemanja Matic is another reported target for Mourinho, while it is understood United maintain an interest in Tottenham's Eric Dier.
