Internazionale Pursues Ivan Perisic as Denzel Dumfries Recovers

Ivan Perisic has garnered interest from Internazionale, who sees him as a suitable replacement for the injured Denzel Dumfries. However, PSV is not inclined to part ways with the Croatian this winter unless a ‘gigantic amount’ is offered, as reported by Eindhovens Dagblad. The exact figure that would be required remains undisclosed.

On Wednesday, news surfaced regarding Internazionale’s interest in Perisic. Initially, the Italian club had set its sights on João Cancelo, but he opted to join FC Barcelona. Consequently, the Nerazzurri have turned to a familiar face: Perisic. The Croatian has previously made 254 appearances for the Milanese powerhouse. While it is well-known that the 36-year-old forward holds a fondness for Inter, it remains uncertain if he is open to a return at this time. His contract with PSV runs until mid-2027, meaning the club is under no obligation to sell him.

In other developments, various media outlets are reporting that Denzel Dumfries is recovering from his injury more quickly than anticipated. “The significant news of the day is that Dumfries is healing faster than previously expected. He will soon be available for coach Cristian Chivu,” stated Giuseppe Marotta, president of Inter, during a recent live television broadcast. Dumfries sustained an ankle injury at the end of 2025, which necessitated immediate surgery.
