Bayern Munich are unlikely to take up their option to sign on loan Inter winger Ivan Perisic on a permanent basis after he broke his ankle in training according to a report from the online edition of Milan based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.

Perisic joined the reigning German champions on a season long loan deal from the Nerazzurri this past Summer and as part of the deal Bayern secured a €20 million option to buy.

Perisic is set to face at least a few months out on the sidelines as a result of the injury he sustained in training and as per the report, there is a strong chance that the Bundesliga outfit will not sign him up permanently as a result.

The 31-year-old winger has featured in 22 games across all competitions to date during his spell with the Bavarian club, in which he has scored five goals and provided eight assists.
