Ivan Perisic extends Inter Milan deal

Ivan Perisic has extended his contract at Inter Milan until the summer of 2022.

The Croatian international was strongly linked with a move to Manchester United in the summer, with Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho believed to have identified the 28-year-old as the perfect player to boost his attack.

Inter resisted the interest in the versatile midfielder, however, and the Italian giants have now tied Perisic to the club for the next five years.
