Manchester United target Ivan Perisic could be about to fork out a hefty fine to his current club Inter Milan - after he indulged in a game of beach volleyball.
The Croatian international has been heavily linked with a move to Jose Mourinho's side, with the winger reportedly keen on moving to Old Trafford.
And perhaps that's really why he's in the bad books at the San Siro, because according to Football Italia, the 28-year-old could be forced to hand over some of his sizeable wages.

Last week, he was beaten in straight-sets by a Brazilian duo who took part in the Olympics, but if he'd progressed to the next round, he could've missed the start of pre-season at Inter.

Apparently, the Inter hierarchy are furious that he risked injury whilst playing another sport - but paying thousands of pounds for a game of volleyball? Seems a bit over the top to us.

What do you think? Has Perisic been unfairly treated or are Inter right to punish him?
