Perisic told to forget about Man United dream

Inter Milan are set to offer want-away winger Ivan Perisic a new contract which may include an anti-Man United clause, reports Gazzetta dello Sport.

Perisic had agreed personal terms with United this summer but Inter rejected huge bids from the Red Devils and managed to keep hold of the player.

However, United are planning to go back for the player in January but Inter remain determined to not lose him to Jose Mourinho's side.

The Serie A club do not want to add a release clause in Perisic's new contract after seeing the PSG-Neymar fiasco but instead want the player to sign an anti-United clause.

According to reports, if Perisic signs this new deal he will earn €4.5 million a year and will remain at the San Siro until 2022.

Real Madrid want Belotti to replace Benzema

Real Madrid are lining up a bid for Torino's in-form striker Andrea Belotti to replace Karim Benzema, according to Diario Gol.

Benzema has just two years left on his current contract and is not expected to receive a new deal from the Los Blancos.

Benzema recorded his lowest ever tally of goals last season and has scored just once in five matches this season.

Manager Zinedine Zidane has shortlisted Belotti, Antoine Griezmann, and Paulo Dybala as possible targets to replace Benzema.

Belotti was previously linked with a move to Man United before Jose Mourinho decided to splash £75million on Everton's Romelu Lukaku this summer.

With Lukaku's arrival, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's contract extension and a possible move for Griezmann in January 2018, Real Madrid seem the obvious favourites to sign Belotti next season.

Mourinho to swap Shaw for Rose

Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
Mourinho wants to replace Shaw with Rose

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is reportedly unhappy with Luke Shaw's progress from injury and is prepared to sell the defender in January, reports Daily Star.

The report claims Mourinho has given up on Shaw and is eyeing a move for Tottenham's Danny Rose, who is also unhappy at his club at the moment.

Rose went public in his criticism of Tottenham's transfer policy and their inability to compete with the top Premier League clubs.

With Davinson Sanchez's arrival at the North London club, Mauricio Pochettino could look at the possibility of a direct swap deal with Luke Shaw which may be the best thing for both clubs.
