Inter are not pursuing a contract extension with Ivan Perisic, with neither the club nor the player interested in holding talks over a renewal.

This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, who report that the Croat, whose contract expires at the end of June 2022, will likely leave on a free transfer next summer.

Despite being linked with a move away for much of the summer and reportedly the subject of interest from a number of clubs in the Bundesliga in particular, Perisic has remained at Inter for the season.

The 32-year-old will remain for one final season where he is still a regular contributor, but given the size of his wages which are €5 million net annually and almost €10 million gross the club will allow him to depart in order to get him off of the wage bill.The player for his part is not interested in starting talks on a new deal, and will happily leave after playing for the rest of the season.
