Tottenham ‘in talks to terminate’ star player’s contract – he does not fit in Postecoglou’s plans
Ivan Perisic’s contract with Tottenham Hotspur is allegedly up for discussion, according to the most recent claim in Turkish media.
The explosive player joined the group last summer on a free transfer from Inter Milan, where he played for Antonio Conte.
However, Perisic’s future with the team is now uncertain as a result of Conte leaving Tottenham.
Reports have linked him with a return to Italy, specifically a potential move back to Inter Milan.
Additionally, Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahce have lately come to light as a prospective suitor for the Croatian winger.
Perisic’s one-year contract with Tottenham is allegedly “in talks to be terminated,” according to the Turkish daily Fanatik (via Sport Witness).
If the contract is terminated, it would allow Perisic to join any club of his choosing on a free transfer.
The report claims that Fenerbahce who are strongly linked with the player, are said to be waiting for the negotiations between Perisic and Spurs to conclude before making an offer.
The recent selection of Ange Postecoglou as Tottenham’s new manager is one of the major factors affecting Perisic’s destiny.
Under Conte’s system, Perisic was largely utilized as a wing-back. With the new management, it is predicted that the need for such a position will decrease because THE Australian likes a 4-3-3 lineup.
Perisic had a solid first season at Spurs. He played in 44 games across all competitions last year, scoring one goal and dishing up 12 assists.
After returning from his loan, Destiny Udogie is expected to compete for the left-back position.
