Inter Set to Extend Veteran Wingback’s Stay Despite Turkish Offer

Inter are set to offer veteran wingback Ivan Perisic a contract extension after it was reported all season long that he would be leaving the Giuseppe Meazza.

The Croatian fullback has been involved heavily in each of Inter’s previous five league matches, bagging four assists and two goals in the process, including a pivotal one in a 2-1 win over Udinese last time around.

According to Tuttosport (via FCInterNews), Perisic has reassured the Inter management of his commitment to the club and he will consider staying in the Nerazzurri colors given that he is guaranteed of competitiveness in the squad and the club for trophies.

Despite receiving an unnamed offer from a Turkish club, the former Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg ace considers staying put for at least a year or two more. His contract at Inter expires at the end of the season, and the club will have to act fast to offer a renewal deal in order to wade off interest from interested clubs.

Perisic currently earns €5m net per season. He has 7 goals and 8 assists in 45 appearances for the Nerazzurri this season.
