Ivan Perišić (Croatian pronunciation: [ǐʋan pěriʃitɕ]; born 2 February 1989) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays for Italian club Inter. He usually plays as a winger, but can also be deployed as an attacking midfielder or second striker.

Product of the Hajduk Split youth academy, Perišić made name for himself while playing for Club Brugge, where he was the Belgian Pro League top goalscorer and was named Belgian Footballer of the Year for 2011. This earned him a transfer to Borussia Dortmund, with whom he won the 2011–12 Bundesliga before signing with VfL Wolfsburg for €8 million in January 2013. He remained there for two-and-a-half-seasons, winning the 2015 DFB-Pokal Final, before moving to Inter for €20 million.

He made his debut for the Croatia national team in 2011, representing the nation at UEFA Euro 2012 and the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Club career

Early career

Aged only 17, Perišić received a large amount of interest from a number of clubs, including Anderlecht, PSV, Ajax, Trabzonspor,[3] Hertha BSC and Hamburger SV, before he eventually signed with French club FC Sochaux. He moved to France from Hajduk Split. In Split, he was called "the new Asanović" by some journalists, a reference to a famous Croatian midfielder who also played in France.[4] From 2007 till January 2009 he played for the reserve team of FC Sochaux.

K.S.V. Roeselare (loan)

In 2009, he was on loan for half a season at Roeselare, a team in the Belgian First Division.[5] Shortly after moving, Perišić made front page headlines, describing him as a new Aljoša Asanović. At Roeselare, Perišić managed to secure a place in the first team squad and immediately made an impact with four goals and two assist. His appearances and goals continued to rise and at the end of the season, transfer speculation reports that Perišić was on the verge of joining Belgian giant Anderlecht.

Club Brugge

On 26 August 2009, Belgian club Club Brugge signed Perišić from Sochaux for €250,000 on a three-year deal.[6] Prior his move to Club Brugge, Perišić was linked with a move to German side Hertha BSC, having gone on trial.[7]

On the opening game of the season, Perišić scored his first goal in a 1–1 draw against Genk, then he scored his second in two consecutive games and provided assists, in a 4–1 win over Westerlo.[8][9] Overall, Perišić scored nine goals in thirty-three league appearances. He also made eight appearances in Brugge's Europa League campaign and scored four goals. At the end of the season, Perišić signed a three-year deal at Club Brugge, keeping him until 2015.[10]

Belgian football critics predicted a bright future for the 20-year-old. In the 2010–11 season, Perišić was the top scorer of the Belgian Jupiler Pro League with 22 goals for Club Brugge, and was elected Player of the Year in Belgium.[11] During the season, Perišić scored four goals in a match and provided assist, as Brugge thrashed Charleroi on 29 December 2010.[12]

Borussia Dortmund

On 23 May 2011, Perišić signed a five-year contract to play for Borussia Dortmund in the German Bundesliga. It is believed he transferred for €5 million.[13]

He made his debut for the club in their 3–1 home victory over Hamburger SV on 5 August, coming on for Chris Löwe in the 75th minute.[14] During a Champions League match on 13 September 2011, he scored a late equaliser with a volley from 20 yards against Arsenal after coming on as a substitute in the 69th minute.[15] On 14 October, he scored the first goal in a 2–0 win against Werder Bremen, a match in which he was later sent off for a second bookable offence.[16] On 21 April 2012, he scored the important 1–0 goal against Borussia Mönchengladbach and opened the door to the eighth national championship for Dortmund. The game ended 2–0 (the second was scored by Shinji Kagawa).[17] He scored in total 12 goals in 64 games for BVB in all competitions.

In the new season, Perišić started his season, scoring a brace in a 3–2 loss against Hamburger SV on 22 September 2012.[18] However, Perišić soon found his first team opportunities limited, having played less in the first team and soon told Croatian channel Nova TV that he had received no support from Jürgen Klopp and accused him of favouring other players.[19] In response, Klopp criticised his actions as childish and Perišić faced a fine, due to his comment.[20]

VfL Wolfsburg

On 6 January 2013, it was reported that Perišić transferred for €8 million to VfL Wolfsburg.[21] Perišić scored his first goal for Wolfsburg in a friendly match against Standard Liège on 10 January. He made his competitive debut for Wolfsburg against VfB Stuttgart on 19 January 2013.[22] In March, Perišić had suffered a left knee injury that caused him to be sidelined throughout the whole March and April.[23] He made his comeback in May in the match against Hamburger SV, coming on as a substitute and providing an assist. On 11 May 2013, he faced his former club Borussia Dortmund and scored two goals.[24]

On 3 August 2013, he scored his first cup goal for Wolfsburg in their 3–1 win against Karlsruher SC.[25] On 26 October 2013, Perišić opened his goal scoring form in the 2013–14 season in their 3–0 win against Werder Bremen, he also assisted a goal.[26] On matchday 30, he scored a brace in their 4–1 home win against 1. FC Nürnberg.[27] Perišić finished the season with ten goals, second-best on the team behind a fellow countryman Ivica Olić.

Internazionale

On 30 August 2015, Perišić signed with Inter on a five-year contract for a fee of €16 million.[28][29] He was presented on 10 September along with Adem Ljajić where he was assigned squad number 44, citing that: "Inter were too big an opportunity to turn down".[30] He made his competitive debut for the club three days later, starting and playing 85 minutes in a 1–0 win against cross-city rivals Milan in the Derby della Madonnina.[31] Perišić scored his first Inter goal in his fifth league appearance in the 1–1 away draw against Sampdoria, finishing home an Mauro Icardi's assist,[32] which was followed by another goal against Palermo two weeks later.[33] On 15 December, Perišić made his Coppa Italia debut in the Round of 16 match against Cagliari at home, appearing as a second-half substitute, scoring the team's third goal of the match in a eventual 3–0 win.[34]

Perišić kicked-off 2016 on 6 January in the match away against Empoli; his cross from close range was finished home by Icardi for the only goal of the match.[35] On 7 February, during the match against Hellas Verona, Perišić came on as an 46th minute substitute to change the fate of the match, providing an assist for Icardi and also scoring for himself to level the result 3–3, rescuing a point for his side.[36] March was Perišić's best month in personal terms, scoring four goals and providing three assists. On 2 March, in the returning leg of Coppa Italia's semi-final against Juventus at San Siro, Perišić scored the team's second goal of the match to help Inter overturn the 3–0 defeat and equal the aggregate 3–3, which led the match into the penalty shootouts; but Inter lost 3–5 on penalty shootouts and eventually was eliminated from the competition.[37][38]

Perišić continued with his sold performances by scoring and assisting in the 3–1 home win against Palermo on 9 March,[39] which was followed by another strike in the 2–1 home win against Bologna a week later.[40] In April, Perišić supplied his fifth assist of the season for the Icardi's winner against Frosinone, helping the captain to score his 50th Inter goal.[41]
