Tottenham have been named as one of the teams looking to sign Croatian international Ivan Perisic this summer, reports FussballTransfers.
The 31-year-old has been on loan at Bayern Munich this season with the Germans retaining the option of making his loan move permanent for 20 million Euros, per the agreement with his parent club, Inter Milan.
However, the Germans don’t want to pay that much to keep him with them and the report claims that they will not pay more than 10 million Euros for the winger.
It further claims that remaining at Bayern is Perisic’s preference, however, if the Germans don’t keep him he could be heading to the Premier League.
This is because Tottenham and Manchester United have previously been linked with a move for him (Football365).

Jose Mourinho will be desperate to win something for Tottenham next season, which would be his first full season at the helm. He might struggle to achieve that goal with his current squad and reinforcements could be brought in with Perisic among the players tipped to join them.
Perisic was one of the stars of the Croatia team that reached the final of the last World Cup before they lost that game to France.
He remains one of the best wingers in Europe and he might add a new dimension to Tottenham’s game.
That said, he is not young and will be 32 next February and it must be questionable if spending any significant money on him is the best use of the likely limited budget that Mourinho will have at his disposal.
😁 😄👍
Perisic would be a nonsensical signing.
That high!
On a scale of one to ten with regards to Perisic signing for Spurs I rate this as a zero.
