Inter Could Sell Perisic To Make Room For Chiesa

Inter could sell Ivan Perisic to make room for Fiorentina star Federico Chiesa this summer, Tuttosport reported today.

The Nerazzurri remain interested in the 21-year-old along with Juventus, although Fiorentina are believed to want £100 million for the Italian.

Perisic is expected to leave the club in the summer after submitting a transfer request in January, which would free up space for Chiesa on the left wing.

Juventus, meanwhile, would look to offload Douglas Costa before stepping up their pursuit of the forward, who is attracting interest from across Europe.

“Fiorentina are doing everything to keep hold of Chiesa,” Tuttosport said.

“The club’s ownership have never made a secret of the fact they don’t want to lose him. Entering into negotiations with an historic rival like Juventus would not be a problem, though, particularly after the deal for Federico Bernardeschi last year.

“Beppe Marotta and Pantaleo Corvino have no intention to fall out, and the same would apply for Fabio Paratici.”
