Chelsea line up move for Inter’s Perisic

The Blues value Perisic at £15.7 million

Chelsea are lining up a summer swoop for Inter Milan’s Ivan Perisic, with Roman Abramovich preparing a £15.7 million bid for the midfielder.

The Croatia international is attracting the Blues’ interest, with Italy boss Antonio Conte set to take over at Stamford Bridge in the summer.

And, with the Italian’s knowledge of the league, and having been able to watch him while keeping tabs on the country’s players for international duty, the 46-year-old is aware of his ability.

Perisic, who has scored eight times for Inter this campaign, has hit a good run of goalscoring form – netting in his last four Inter appearances – and is a versatile midfielder, which will open up Conte’s options for next season.

Chelsea undervalue Croatian

However, it may not be so straightforward for Roman Abramovich to land his target, with Inter valuing Perisic at £18 million, with the 27-year-old’s contract to run until 2020.

So, Abramovich may have to up his offer if he is to land his target, who could prove to be very valuable for the Blues next season, as they set to make numerous changes in the summer.

Perisic scored for Croatia in a friendly against Israel this week, and a strong run in until the end of the season may make Inter demand more for the Chelsea target.
