Manchester United have a "strong interest" in signing Ivan Perisic but Inter will not let him leave on the cheap, technical director Walter Sabatini has insisted.
Jose Mourinho's side have long been linked with a move for the Croatia international, who is reportedly valued at close to £50million by the Serie A club.
Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio made it clear this week that they had not received a satisfactory offer for the 28-year-old and Sabatini hopes to keep him, despite suggesting that the player's attitude could influence their decision.
"Ivan is a player who [head coach Luciano] Spalletti would like to keep but we only want those with the right motivation," he told a news conference.
"United are very interested. They know our idea; we will see what will happen in the next few days.
"We'll decide the price of our players. Perisic is a great player for Inter, we want him to stay and the only way that won't happen is if we get financial advantages to improve the team.
“In the meantime, I hope that Perisic will maintain the behaviour required of him."
