Man Utd boss Mourinho ends Bale talks to focus on Perisic
Posted Tuesday, August 01, 2017 by tribalfootball.com
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has pulled back from talks with Real Madrid star Gareth Bale.
Mourinho has been pursuing a deal for the Welshman, but Don Balon says negotiations have been broken off as he focuses on signing Ivan Perisic.
The United manager views the Inter Milan winger now as the priority and wants everything thrown into negotiations to clinch a deal for the Croatia international.
After signing Nemanja Matic from Chelsea, Perisic's name is the last on Mourinho's to-do list this summer.
However in Spain, Mourinho's silence is being interpreted as a clear message to Bale to go public with his hopes of moving to United.
Should the winger begin talking openly about a future with United, Mourinho will immediately be on the phone to Real president Florentino Perez to discuss terms.
