Inter’s Ivan Perisic is likely to leave Inter at the end of this season, with the Croat in the final year of his contract and not likely to extend.
This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, who note that he has nevertheless made decisive contributions throughout the season.
Perisic is in his seventh year at Inter, one of which was spent on loan with Bayern Munich, and the 32-year-old has still found ways to affect games regularly from his left-sided position.
Starting seven out of the Nerazzurri’s nine matches so far, he has managed to provide crucial contributions such as his assist for Edin Dzeko to kick of the comeback win against Sassuolo last weekend.
When he returned from Bayern last year, Perisic was used by coach Antonio Conte in a different one to the attacking winger position he had mostly been used to, converting to a wing-back covering the entire left flank.
The Croat has enjoyed playing in the position, helping the club to the Scudetto last season, and is still useful in the position.
With Federico Dimarco back at the club from his loan at Hellas Verona, Perisic has both alternated with the Italian in the left-wing-back position, and played in front of Dimarco who can also play in the left-sided centre-back role.
Perisic now looks to be very likely to depart from Inter next summer, with the Bundesliga the most likely destination for him, but for now he remains a significant player for the club who he joined in the summer of 2015.
