Perisic has continued to be an important player for Inter, scoring a brace in the Coppa Italia final as Inter defeated Juventus 4-2 in extra time to win the championship.
Perisic hinted about his departure from Inter following the game.
Perisic told Sports Mediaset, “I don’t know anything yet.”
“You don’t wait until the last minute with significant players.” You should be aware of this as well.”
Antonio Cassano, a former Inter striker, has encouraged the club to maintain its winger.
“He’s had a fantastic season,” Cassano added, “but has (general manager Beppe) Marotta noticed?”
“If he quits, Inter will be shooting themselves in the foot; he’s had his greatest season, and the club must offer him a three-year deal.”
