Ivan Perisic is at somewhat of a crossroads with Inter following his strong Coppa Italia final performance yesterday.
The 33-year-old Croatian forward’s contract expires with the Nerazzurri at the end of this season and their purchase of Robin Gosens from Atalanta in January made the club’s intentions clear. Perisic hasn’t started to slow down, however, and his brace was vital in securing the Coppa Italia yesterday.
As reported by Corriere della Sera, Perisic is clearly frustrated with Inter regarding their contract renewal talks; the Croatian asked for a three-year deal worth €6m net per season, but the club never offered higher than a two-year deal worth €4m net per season.
The 33-year-old will now have to decide whether to restart talks with Inter or focus on finding a new club abroad, with clubs in both the Bundesliga and Premier League interested.
Perisic has made 47 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 3748 minutes. In that time, he’s scored nine goals and provided eight assists.
