Ivan Perisic is set to terminate his Tottenham Hotspur contract to return to Croatia
Italian football journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has revealed that Tottenham Hotspur star Ivan Perisic is poised to part ways with the club on a free transfer.
The versatile player, who arrived at Tottenham last summer on a free transfer from Inter Milan under the leadership of former manager Antonio Conte, finds his future uncertain following Conte’s departure.
There has been news linking Perisic with a potential return to Italy, particularly rejoining Inter Milan. However, another intriguing destination that has emerged is Turkish club Fenerbahce, who have reportedly shown interest in the Croatian winger.
Ivan Perisic is said to be on the verge of departing Tottenham, but rather than heading to Turkey, he is closing in on a move back to his homeland, Croatia, with HNK Hajduk Split. A return to his homeland could be the calling this summer.
Di Marzio confirms that Perisic intends to terminate his contract with Tottenham to facilitate the completion of this transfer. The decision to return to Croatia instead of considering options in Turkey or even Saudi Arabia could be viewed as an emotional one for Perisic.
During his time at Spurs, Perisic made a significant contribution to the team. In the previous season, he showcased his versatility, featuring in 44 matches across various competitions. While his goal-scoring record may not have been remarkable, finding the back of the net once, he proved to be a valuable asset with 12 assists to his name.
The Croatian winger’s departure from Tottenham signifies the end of a rather curious journey for both the player and the club. His arrival last year brought about a wave of excitement, as fans anticipated his impact on the team’s performance.
As Perisic’s Tottenham chapter comes to a close, it opens up new possibilities for the player and the club. While it remains uncertain whether Tottenham will seek a replacement or choose to invest in other areas of the squad, the departure of a player of Perisic’s calibre presents an opportunity for younger talents to step up and make their mark in the team.
