’This is a big thing’: Tottenham Hotspur departure causing ‘euphoria’ after emotional transfer
Ivan Perisic was given permission by Tottenham Hotspur to rejoin Hajduk Split in Croatia, and this decision is generating a lot of media attention.
Luka Vuskovic, a wonderkid from Hajduk Split, was signed by Tottenham in September of that year. The defender is scheduled to arrive in 2025 when he is 18.
That generated rumors about Spurs wide player Ivan Perisic moving the other way in Croatia.
Originally from Split, Perisic grew up cheering for Hajduk and even played youth league football for six years.
Perisic has achieved success throughout Europe, and there was optimism that he would make a heartfelt return to Hajduk by trying to win the league title.
After suffering a serious injury in September that cast doubt on the contract, the 34-year-old Perisic has officially completed his return to Hajduk and signed a loan agreement that will last until the end of the current campaign.
After his Spurs contract expires, Perisic will sign a one-year permanent contract with Hajduk, a move that will make significant news in Croatia.
Ivan Perisic’s Tottenham Hotspur exit is a ‘big thing’
With six points more than Rijeka and seven more than Dinamo Zagreb, Perisic joins a Hajduk team that leads Croatia’s premier division.
Perisic is coming back to attempt and help Hajduk get across the finish line and end a nearly 20-year wait for top spot, as Hajduk haven’t won a league title since 2005.
Winning the tile this season would be something else; Torcida Split, the fans’ group, is known for their extravagant celebrations. That would cause spectacular scenes in Split.
Now that Perisic is a part of that objective, former Hajduk player and former Croatian international Hrvoje Vejić has expressed his opinion.
Vejic stated in an interview with Sportske Novosti that Perisic joining Hajduk is a “huge thing” for both Hajduk and Croatian football.
Vejic goes so far as to say that the transfer has created “euphoria,” citing Perisic as one of the best players Split could have signed at this time.
Perisic is seen as an amazing addition and is creating “understandable” enthusiasm despite his injury and stage of the game.
“This is significant for Croatian football as a whole. in particular, Hajduk. It makes total sense that Ivan’s arrival would cause euphoria. Perišić is the biggest name Hajduk could bring in right now, injured or not, Veijc stated.
It’s possible that Perisic’s time at Tottenham didn’t go as planned; although Spurs had a terrible season the previous year, he was considered as an experienced player who could really assist Antonio Conte go forward.
Spurs fans will undoubtedly watch Perisic from a distance when he returns to his childhood club in the hopes that he can win the league championship and give Hajduk supporters even more reason to celebrate.
