Tottenham Hotspur’s Ivan Perišić has been sidelined with a serious injury since September and is not set to return to the pitch anytime soon. That didn’t stop him from being linked with a move to Hajduk Split.
Earlier this week, Hajduk Split manager Mislav Karoglan revealed he would like to sign the 34-year-old.
Sportske Novosti have come up with a surprise claim on Hajduk Split’s desire to secure the Tottenham winger’s services and that too in January.
Sportske Novosti claim the Croatia international won’t be able to return to action until next April. Despite this, Hajduk Split president Lukša Jakobušić isn’t ready to give up and will do everything he can to sign Perišić next month.
The report further explains that ‘money is not the problem’ to conclude the deal. As it stands, the two parties are having differences when it comes to the length of contract.
Perišić’s contract at Spurs lasts until 2024. Hajduk Split want to sign him on a permanent deal [likely with a longer contract] while the Tottenham attacker wants a deal until the end of this season.
If Hajduk Split succeed in agreeing a deal in January, Perišić may play a role in helping them in the title race towards the end of the season. It would also help him prepare for the Euros next summer.
