Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata has broken his honeymoon trip to speed up the move to Manchester United, according to Daily Express.
The Spaniard recently got married to Alice Campello and it was understood that the transfer talks were put on hold due to his wedding which happened a couple of weeks ago.
Morata had a difficult season under Zidane as he played as an understudy to French striker Karim Benzema. He is willing to move away from Bernabeu this summer in search of more playing time.
Manchester United were very close to signing him with the club’s massive €75 million (£65.6m) bid rejected as the Los Blancos are considering a bid above £75 million. The Spaniard became the top target for Jose Mourinho after Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann committing his future to his club by signing a new deal.
The Portuguese tactician is keen to replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic for next season and eyes Morata as his new No. 9.
The report suggests that Morata will have showdown talks with president Florentino Perez and manager Zinedine Zidane in an attempt to reunite with his former manager.
Real Madrid, however are looking to squeeze as much as money possible from the Red Devils as they attempt to fund the world record move for Kylian Mbappe this summer.
On the other hand, Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic has rejected a new deal at San Siro in an attempt to force a move to Old Trafford.
The 28-year old is another major target for Jose Mourinho and the club are ready to make a £30m bid which is way below Inter’s evaluation of £44m.
Inter Milan are keen to ensure that they comply with Financial Fair play regulations of UEFA to avoid fine, which could help the deal to be done in the coming days.
Perisic was in impressive form for Inter last season as he managed 13 goals and 9 assists. Inter manager Luiano Spaletti has confirmed that he will have players who are committed to the club.
“I will try with all my strength to transfer my working method and my convictions to the team,” he said. “Anyone who works with me must feel totally convinced. That’s to Inter as a team, not as individuals.
“These players have a lot of quality but then everyone thinks they’ve done their bit and that doesn’t work as a collective. Every player feels like they are owed something whereas they need to worry about giving something.”
