Will Perisic finally make his way to Manchester United?

Liverpool to fight Tottenham to sign Geoffrey Kondogbia if Valencia don't

English Premier League giants Liverpool are all set to fight tooth and nail against Tottenham, to sign Inter Milan star Geoffrey Kondongbia, according to reports in the Daily Star. The 24-year old was a regular feature in Inter but was loaned out to Valencia.

After performing wonderfully in the La Liga, Kondongbia has now attracted attention from the big clubs. As it stands, Valencia have an option to sign him permanently for an estimated fee of £22 million at the end of the season.

However, the reports claim that Liverpool and Spurs are lurking and could swoop for the defensive midfielder, should Valencia choose not to sign him up.

Manchester United continue to pursue Ivan Perisic

Despite failing to sign one of their top targets -- Ivan Perisic -- in the summer transfer window, Manchester United are reportedly still in the hunt to sign the talented Croatian winger. The Red Devils missed out on signing their man after failing to agree on a fee with Inter Milan before the 28-year old signed a new contract with the Serie A giants.

Reports from the Metro, however, suggest that the saga is far from done, as Perisic's new contract includes a release clause of about €60 million, which Jose Mourinho and Co. are allegedly willing to meet next summer.
