Internazionale Pursues Ivan Perisic as Dumfries Recovery Improves

On Wednesday morning, it was announced that Internazionale is keen on acquiring Ivan Perisic from PSV as a replacement for the injured Denzel Dumfries. By Wednesday evening, significant developments emerged from Italy regarding this situation.

Internazionale is making every effort to lure Perisic away from PSV, yet obstacles remain.

Pasquale Guarro, an Italian sports journalist writing for outlets including Calciomercato and FCInter1908, shared a transfer update about Internazionale on X. In light of Denzel Dumfries’ injury, the Nerazzurri are in search of a suitable replacement. Initially, João Cancelo was considered for this role, but the Portuguese former player of the Milanese club chose a loan move to another former team, FC Barcelona.

Denzel Dumfries has been sidelined for an extended period due to an ankle injury.

At the end of 2025, Dumfries suffered an ankle injury, which caused him to miss international matches for the Netherlands against Poland and Lithuania. As his pain intensified, a decision was made to proceed with surgery, which took place in London at the end of 2025. Following the procedure, it was determined that the Dutch player would be out for several months.

However, new information emerged from the San Siro on Wednesday evening suggesting a different narrative regarding the right winger of the black and blue club from Milan. President Giuseppe Marotta stated live on television via DAZN that Dumfries is recovering faster than originally anticipated. “The big news of the day is that Dumfries is recovering quicker than expected. He will soon be available for coach Cristian Chivu.”

What is the status of Perisic and his potential move to Inter?

By late Wednesday afternoon, Italian media reported that Fabrizio Romano had also provided an update. The renowned transfer journalist indicated that the Croatian player is keen on returning to his former club; however, PSV is reportedly unwilling to facilitate a mid-season transfer.
