Perisic stays behind for Bayern Munich

By Football Italia staff

Ivan Perisic reportedly did not travel with the Inter squad to Valencia for tonight’s friendly, so is increasingly close to Bayern Munich.

The Nerazzurri take on Valencia in this evening’s friendly at 20.30 UK time.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Perisic is not in the squad for this game at the Mestalla and didn’t make the trip to Spain.

That would be a further sign that the Croatia international is on the verge of a move to Bayern Munich.

Multiple sources including Das Bild had noted the clubs were in basic agreement for a loan with option to buy at the end of the season, at a total cost of €30m.

However, Sky Sport Italia and Sportitalia suggested Perisic was unsure about the formula of the transfer, preferring an obligation to buy, as that would give him a greater sense of stability.

If he hasn’t made the trip to Spain today, it implies Perisic is focusing all his attention on completing the move to Bayern Munich.
