Bernardeschi or Cambiaso for Inter if Perisic leaves

According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Inter hope to extend with Ivan Perisic, but have already targeted Andrea Cambiaso and Federico Bernardeschi if the Croatia international leaves.

Perisic sees his Inter contract expire in the summer and talks with the Nerazzurri are ongoing. The 33-year-old had requested a €6m-a-year deal, which was not affordable for the Nerazzurri but hasn’t received a similar offer from any other club in Europe.

According to Il Corriere dello Sport, he has requested a new two-year contract, while Inter are open to offering a one-year deal with an option to extend for a further campaign. Talks between the two parties are still ongoing, but Inter are preparing for Perisic’s possible departure.

Genoa‘s Cambiaso and Juventus‘ Bernardeschi are seen as possible options for the Serie A champions who signed Robin Gosens from Atalanta in January.

Cambiaso, a U21 Italy international, is a long-time target of the Nerazzurri, while Bernardeschi was signed by Beppe Marotta at Juventus in 2017 and is now available as a free agent as he’s unlikely to extend his expiring contract with the Old Lady, who has offered him a pay cut.
