Ivan Perisic closes on Inter switch

The Croatia international touched down at Linate Airport, where he was greeted by Inter officials and reporters.

“Forza Inter!” he told journalists before getting into a car. “I’m very happy.”

The transfer is believed to be a loan with mandatory option to buy for a total €20m investment, to be spread out over three instalments.

Perisic will undergo his medical today and sign a five-year contract, as confirmed by his agent this morning.

Months of negotiations finally concluded with a deal struck late into the night, at around 2am local time.
