  • Croatian international Ivan Perišić has reportedly been offered to his former club Inter Milan, reigniting transfer speculation.
  • A move in January was blocked by PSV, but the player expressed openness to returning if Inter's management pursued it.
  • Perišić's contract with PSV runs until 2027, suggesting a potentially low transfer fee for Inter, where he previously played for seven years.

Croatian football star Ivan Perišić is reportedly on the verge of a sensational return to Inter Milan, the club where he spent seven successful years. Insider reports from Nicolo Schira suggest that the veteran winger has been offered to the Italian giants, potentially reviving a transfer saga that began in January.

During the winter transfer window, Inter faced challenges on the right flank due to injuries to key players. A move for Perišić at that time was reportedly thwarted because his then-club, PSV Eindhoven, was unwilling to part with a crucial player mid-season. Perišić himself hinted at the possibility of a return, stating in January, "I was very close to returning, but PSV didn't let me. A return? That depends on the president and the sporting director. They know where I am, they just need to find me."

Now, Inter has another opportunity to bring the experienced player back into their fold. Perišić's current contract with PSV extends until June 2027. This contractual situation could mean that Inter might only need to pay a nominal transfer fee to secure his services. During his previous tenure with Inter, Perišić made 254 appearances, scoring 55 goals and providing 50 assists, solidifying his status as a club legend.

Perišić also had a loan spell at Bayern Munich during his time with Inter. For PSV, he has recorded 26 goals and 27 assists in 79 official matches. It remains to be seen whether Inter will capitalize on this opportunity to re-sign the Croatian international, who continues to be a significant figure on the field.

In January I was very close to returning, but PSV didn't let me. A return? That depends on the president and the sporting director. They know where I am, they just need to find me.
