Inter Milan coach Luciano Spalletti concedes the future of Ivan Perisic remains clouded.
While Perisic is in China with Inter, a move to Manchester United continues to be negotiated.
Spalletti was asked about the situation yesterday and said: "He is a fantastic player and if his future totally depended on me, I would definitely keep him.
"However, if an offer comes and the club is satisfied with the money, which will be used to invest and strengthen the team, he could leave."
United and Inter are haggling over a fee of €45-55m for the Croatia international.
