Ivan Perisic could return to Inter to strengthen the flanks. The Croatian represents the solution identified by the Nerazzurri club to address the emergency on the right wing, where the absence of Dumfries has left a gap to fill. A profile that guarantees experience, knowledge of the environment, and reliability on the athletic level.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the Oaktree ownership has already given approval for the operation. The goal is also to strengthen the squad ahead of the Champions League round of 16, an achievement that would not be taken for granted in the event of advancing from the playoffs. The meeting held on Wednesday at the club’s headquarters, also attended by Chivu, served to align the positions of all parties involved.
There is reportedly a general agreement with the player. Perisic would be willing to return to Italy to pursue new high-level goals. Now it will be up to the player himself to put pressure on his current club to obtain the final go-ahead for his departure to Milan.
Inter’s plan is to use the Croatian as a wildcard on both flanks. The main task will be to cover the gap on the right caused by Dumfries‘ injury, but the player can also be used on the left to give Dimarco a break and allow Carlos Augusto to return to being Bastoni‘s backup in defense. The club does not have particular concerns about his age, as he will turn 37 on February 2. The guarantees offered on a physical level and his ability to remain competitive in a very demanding role from an athletic point of view reassure the Nerazzurri management.
