The Croatian has been a constant presence in the Inter Milan first team for years now and was a big part of the reason they captured the Serie A title in the 2020\/21 season.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the Italian club are desperate to keep hold of Perisic but according to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1529635430395744256\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fabrizio Romano,<\/a> that may be difficult. In response to an older Tweet about Inter offering Perisic an improved deal, he had this to say: &#8220;Nothing has changed for Ivan Perisi\u0107. He\u2019s gonna decide his future soon with Inter new contract proposal on the table, but also <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/05\/21\/tottenham-hotspur-considering-inter-milan-attacking-midfielder-ivan-perisic-move\/\" target=\"_self\">Tottenham<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/05\/25\/thomas-tuchel-todd-boehly-chelsea-era-begins\/\" target=\"_self\">Chelsea<\/a> both interested as his deal runs out in June&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Inter Milan Midfielder Ivan Perisic Faces Uncertain Future Amidst Premier League Interest<\/h2>\n<h3>A Gap to Fill<\/h3>\n<p>Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are the two named clubs interested in the services of the Croatian. The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/01\/17\/chelsea-ivan-perisic-layvin-kurzawa\/\" target=\"_self\">interest from Chelsea<\/a> was first noted during the January transfer window with the club unable to reach a deal. Still, they will be paying attention to the situation very closely. With <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/05\/01\/barcelona-to-extend-sergi-roberto-contract-exploring-marcos-alonso-signing\/\" target=\"_self\">Marcos Alonso<\/a> seemingly headed for a return to Spain and Ben Chilwell still on the shelf, Chelsea are in need of players at the left wing-back position. Although Emerson Palmieri is likely to be coming back from Lyon, Ivan Perisic is a more proven name and gives the club more options depth-wise.<\/p>\n<p>Tottenham are also interested in Perisic but unlike Chelsea, they&#8217;re interested in his attacking flair. Perisic predominately plays on the left side of midfield but he can play in the area behind a striker when needed.<\/p>\n<h3>Competition for Signature<\/h3>\n<p>Ivan Perisic and his representatives will be well aware of the interest from all three clubs which means they will be aiming to get the best deal possible. Inter&#8217;s offer supposedly had a base salary of \u20ac5 million per season, which could easily rise as all three teams compete for the players&#8217; signature.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"NMugh8GXTG5VCIfarN7bdA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1398846016\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'NMugh8GXTG5VCIfarN7bdA',sig:'_1NieWBuRNLJv5PatXYXXY9S-PLB2e1BraPbB-cVYNw=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1398846016',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inter Milan midfielder Ivan Perisic is out of contract this summer.
