Manchester United are pushing Inter Milan to drop their price for Ivan Perisic.
Corriere dello Sport says Inter would want €50m (£43.7m) to part with the former Wolfsburg star as United step up their summer business.
But United consider the fee quoted to be exorbitant.
Having seen Manchester City already land Bernardo Silva, United will be eager to catch up and land a big name of their own.
Both Manchester sides flopped in the title race and will resort to heavy spending to avoid a repeat next season.
