The Daily Mail today states that Inter Milan have accepted a £45 million bid from Manchester United for Ivan Perisic. The winger was rumoured to be on his way out with only a transfer fee left to be agreed and if the Daily Mail is correct then it should be a sealed deal.

Chelsea are still interested in Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly as per reports from Calciomercato in Italy. As per the report, the Blues are prepared to offer the Naples club a sum of €60 million (£52.5 million) for the centre-back’s services.

Cristiano Ronaldo to wait for it... Hertha Berlin
On a lighter note, a hilarious tweet from Herta BSC’s official Twitter account offered Cristiano Ronaldo a move to Berlin. The tweet suggested that Berlin would love him like a son. Cristiano Ronaldo is considering leaving Real Madrid after winning it all there.

Real Madrid to freeze Morata deal
According to Spanish paper AS, Real Madrid are going to freeze Alvaro Morata’s transfer to Manchester United. After sources close to Cristiano Ronaldo stunningly revealed his intentions to leave Real Madrid, the club have gone on high alert and are aiming to keep their prized assets.
The Red Devils were supposedly in advanced talks to sign the Spanish forward but now the deal appears to be off.
Chelsea’s Alex Sandro bid rejected
Juventus have rejected a bid from Chelsea for their left back Alex Sandro as per recent comments from their director Giuseppe Marotta. "Our desire is to not sell any of our most important players," said Marotta to Corriere dello Sport.
"We said no to a very good offer from Chelsea for Alex Sandro. But we know that we are competing with clubs that are in a position to offer wages that are not rational for us. And players are always their own boss. I do not know how Alex Sandro reacted," he concluded.
Tottenham name Eric Dier price
Tottenham Hotspur have named their price for Eric Dier as per the Telegraph. The quoted figure is a sum of £50 million that Spurs want from the Red Devils and Jose Mourinho is keen to make the versatile midfielder his second signing at Old Trafford. Should United shell out the sum, this move could materialise.

Which goalkeeper will Real Madrid sign?
Real Madrid are surely in for a goalkeeper as per Sky Sports reports. But it is still unclear who Zinedine Zidane prefers to sign. David De Gea has been the most heavily linked to Los Blancos but Manchester United are reluctant to let their number one shot stopper leave.
AC Milan’s Gianluigi Donnarumma and Chelsea’s Thibaut Courtois are also linked but a move is more likely for the Italian than the Belgian.
