- Story Text: Serie A's Inter Milan and Ligue 1's Olympique Lyonnais held training sessions in front of hundreds of cheering fans on Sunday (July 23) as they prepared to face each other in the International Champions Cup in Nanjing.
Among those training was Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic, who has been linked up with a move to Manchester United, and Inter coach Luciano Spalletti said the club may not able to keep him if the Croatian striker decides to leave.
Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyonnais sold French international striker Alexandre Lacazette to English side Arsenal but coach Bruno Genesia told reporters Olympique Lyonnais will still compete for the Europa League, as the final game will be held at their home ground.
Following the game against Olympique Lyonnais on Monday (July 24), Inter Milan will travel to Singapore for games against Bayern Munich and Chelsea. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
