The message has been delivered to the right people. Ivan Perisic is hoping for a call from the Nerazzurri and probably really expects it. The Croatian, after putting himself forward last month – “It depends on the director and the president. They know where I am, they have to find me” – is ready, should Inter decide to bet on him again, to ask PSV for a transfer.

A clear stance, according to Tuttosport, for a move that would be made only for the Nerazzurri, since the winger’s goal, rather than a dream, is to experience what would be his third adventure in Milan. He is not interested in wearing other Serie A jerseys. In addition to the names that require a significant outlay, the club is also considering a low-cost operation for the right wing, and the signal comes precisely from the player in question.

Perisic now, unlike in January, has nothing left to accomplish in the Netherlands after winning the league by a landslide last season. The player knows perfectly well that Chivu would welcome him with open arms – given what he was told a few months ago – but also that Oaktree could potentially block his signing due to age reasons.

For his part, however, the thirty-seven-year-old is convinced he has significant physicality and can still make a difference. As a starter or coming off the bench, to also be an example and mentor for the younger players. Now it’s up to the Nerazzurri to take notice.
