The economic agreement between Inter and Perisic is said to have already been reached without particular difficulty. The Croatian, now thirty-seven years old, continues to express his desire to wear the black and blue shirt again, the one he left in the summer of 2022 when he chose not to renew and to join Tottenham on a free transfer. A decision he has probably reconsidered several times over the years.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the winger’s intentions are clear: he wants to relive the Milan experience, to reconnect with people and places he left almost four years ago. The black and blue club, in a market described as poor by president Marotta, has identified Ivan as the right name to strengthen the right wing, which is struggling due to the absence of Denzel Dumfries.
The real obstacle remains PSV Eindhoven, which has no intention of letting the player go before the Champions League playoffs. The Dutch would like to keep him at least until the end of the European phase, but the Croatian’s pressure could make the difference. In these last days of the transfer window, Inter is reportedly studying a plan to convince the Eindhoven club to let the winger leave.
The schedule could play a decisive role. Psv, currently twenty-second in the standings and in the running for the playoffs, will have to face Bayern Munich on the final matchday. A defeat or even a draw would make immediate elimination very likely, without going through the playoffs scheduled between February 17 and 25. At that point, with no need to keep Perisic for the European competition, the deal could go through. Paradoxically, those who want to see the Croatian in black and blue again will have to root for the Bavarians.
