The Croatian Annas were very close to the Red Days during the summer of 2017, but ended up signing a five-year contract with Inter, Periscopi notes.
Although Perisic had enjoyed the attention of Jose Mourino, he was persuaded to stay in San Siro by Coach Luciano Spalletti.
It's true that an offer by Manchester United was on the table. I was very close to leaving Interi”, he told FourFourTwo.
When Luciano Spalletti arrived [in June 2017], he showed a strong desire to keep me on the team and made it clear that he did not want to lose me”.
It was very encouraging and I didn't regret my decision to stay in Inter. In football, in these situations small details are key to a success”.
A coach like Mourinho is obviously something that tempted me. It's a confirmation of hard work and good performance. You can't just sit back when a club like Manchester United offers you an offer, but you're also happy because these things motivate you to keep working harder and stronger and stronger. /Periscopi/
