Chelsea Hopeful of Signing Inter Milan's Croatian Star
Ivan Perisic has been one of the shining lights of the Italian Serie A for many years now and has been courted by some of the biggest clubs in Europe over the past few transfer windows, however it seems that he might move this summer since his club Inter Milan might not be able to hold on to the star if a right offer comes along. Chelsea is one of the clubs which has always been interested in the Croatian forward and according to reports in the local media, the representatives have expressed an interest in taking him to Stamford Bridge in the summer. In addition to that, incoming Chelsea manager Anotnio Conte, who managed in Italy for many years is also known to be a big fan of the player and wants to make him one of his earliest purchases in the summer.
Perisic, who joined Inter Milan after impressing at Roma, has been one of the key players for Roberto Mancini's side during the 2015-16 season but the Milan giants have not been able to sustain a title challenge despite being top of the table during the early part of the campaign.Currently they are third in the table and are likely to miss out on UEFA Champions League places, which is why it is more than likely that Perisic would like to move to a club who would be able to offer him consstent European football over the years.
Last but certainly not the least by any stretch of imagination, the significantly higher salary paid by Chelsea and the lure of a mega city like London are also going to be huge factors when it comes to agreeing on a move to the club. Chelsea reps believe that they could tie up a deal quickly. Other than Perisic, Chelsea are also interested in Juventus' midfield star Paul Pogba and are prepared to sell up to three players in order to finance that move. According to rumours, Juventus might agree to a fee of £80 million for the French star and Chelsea are going to do everything in their power to raise the cash.
