Ange Postecoglou is preventing Ivan Perisic from returning to his boyhood club
Ange Postecoglou is preventing Ivan Perisic from returning to his boyhood club, according to an exclusive revelation by Vercenji.
The Hajduk Split president, Luksa Jakobusic, recently disclosed to Croatian station 24 sata the barriers created by Postecoglou that are obstructing Perisic’s desired move back to his roots.
Although it was initially reported that the 34-year-old had attracted interest from Saudi Arabian clubs and Fenerbahce, Fabrizio Romano later clarified that no definitive decision had been reached regarding the Croatian winger’s future.
Postecoglou, the Australian manager at the helm of Tottenham, recognizes the value Perisic brings to the squad with his ability to cover multiple positions. This versatility is a rare attribute among the current Spurs players.
In an era where specialization is increasingly prevalent, players capable of seamlessly transitioning between different positions are highly sought after. Perisic’s adaptability has been showcased throughout his career.
Hajduk Split, undoubtedly aware of Perisic’s desire to return home, had hoped to secure his services for their upcoming campaign. However, the club’s president revealed that negotiations have hit a roadblock due to Postecoglou’s reluctance to part ways with the versatile Croatian.
The delicate situation surrounding Perisic’s potential departure emphasizes the intricate decisions faced by managers when shaping their squads. Postecoglou’s vision for Tottenham likely encompasses a careful balance of established talent, promising youth, and players capable of fulfilling various roles.
Perisic’s skill set and experience make him an important figure within the team, and it seems that Postecoglou is unwilling to relinquish that versatility at this stage. Maybe he needs a replacement before letting him leave.
