Ivan Perisic hasn’t found what he was looking for at Tottenham and wouldn’t mind transferring back to Inter. The Spurs didn’t qualify for any European competition following a confusing season where they changed three coaches. Antonio Conte, who was instrumental in luring him to London, is no longer at the helm, and that’s a big factor, Calciomercato relays.
The winger has been subpar compared to his final Nerazzurri campaigns. He has scored just once in 44 seasonal appearances, but he has tallied double-digit assists. He has another year on his contract with the Lilywhites. The 34-year-old earns €6M annually.
Perisic has kept in touch with his Inter teammates. He was in the stands for the return leg of the EuroDerby and is expected to be present to cheer them on in Istanbul as well. He’d like to do like Romelu Lukaku, but the team hasn’t provided any openings so far.
The Nerazzurri already have a few veterans with significant wages. In addition, Federico Dimarco has fully flourished, and Robin Gosens has bounced back enough to be a reliable deputy.
Our Take on Inter and Perisic
The turn of events shows that the grass isn’t always greener in the Premier League despite its wealth. There’s little chance of a return happening. He necessitates a multi-layered domino for it to come to be. First of all, La Beneamata needs to find a buyer willing to offer a decent buck for Gosens. Then, Tottenham would have to let him go basically for free. Finally, he’d have to agree to a sizeable pay cut.
