The agents of Inter owned Croatian winger are in talks with Tottenham Hotspur to prepare for a back-up plan should a permanent transfer to Bayern Munich collapse, Italian media outlet FcInterNews report.

According to the report, Inter and Bayern intend to conclude a deal for the Croatian international winger despite the fact that time has run on the €20 million option the Bavarian’s had to sign him permanently.

This is, the report continues, due to the fact the Bayern do not wish to sign anyone permanently this upcoming transfer window due to the financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Therefore, they have asked Inter to loan him over another season, something the Nerazzurri have declined, prompting Bayern to offer €10 million to sign him outright. Inter have not received this well but can consider accepting an offer around €15 million, as talks continue.

So although it is likely that a deal for Perisic could most likely be concluded, the player’s agents want to have a back-up plan and have therefore contacted Tottenham, where José Mourinho would welcome him with open arms.

Ivan Perisic joined Inter in the summer of 2015 from VFL Wolfsburg in a deal reportedly worth €16 million and has since then featured 163 times across all competitions for the Nerazzurri scoring 40 goals in the process.

He joined Bayern Munich on a season long loan last summer and has since joining them featured 29 times across all competitions scoring 6 goals in the process.
