Perisic Interested in Reunion with Conte at Tottenham

DBasia.news – Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic is reportedly in the sights of English club Tottenham Hotspur. The Lillywhites are reportedly ready to submit a proposal to the January 2022 mercato.

When Tottenham recruited Conte as a new manager, Perisic’s name emerged as one of the targeted players. Approaching the January transfer window, the news is getting louder.

Football.London reports, Conte is considering going down to the transfer market. Moreover, the manager has expressed his frustration with the quality of the current Spurs squad.

Inevitably, the name Ivan Perisic appeared. The Lillywhites are reportedly ready to submit a proposal to the mercato in January 2022. Regarding this news, Perisic is said to have welcomed Conte’s wishes.

Reported by Sport1, Perisic is said to want a reunion with Conte at Tottenham. Interestingly, the Croatian will be available on a free transfer next summer.

The 32-year-old footballer is approaching the final six months of his current contract at Inter. This means he will be free to talk to other clubs next January.

Perisic was one of the pillars when Conte took charge of Inter in the 2020-21 season. At that time, Perisic made 42 appearances in all competitions and contributed five goals.

It’s no secret, Conte likes Perisic who he calls a high-determination player. “With such determination, in the end it will make the job of the coach easier,” Conte said of Perisic last year.

This season, Perisic has appeared in 21 games with five goals and three assists for the Nerazzurri.
