Inter Milan look for Perisic decision
The director of football at Inter Milan has lifted the lid on Ivan Perisic's future amid growing interest from Chelsea ahead of the upcoming transfer window. The 33-year-old sees his contract at the San Siro expire at the end of the season and is yet to have committed his future beyond the summer.
Speaking to Dazn, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano, Giuseppe Marotta said: "We want Perisic's to continue here with us, for sure. We respect him. We’ll discuss at the end of the current season to make all the decisions."
He's featured 33 times in the Serie A for the Italian giants this season, directly contributing towards 13 goals. Perisic's impressive displays over the years have courted the interest of several top-flight Premier League sides, though he's never touched down on British soil.

Dybala puts Chelsea on red alert
Paulo Dybala has confirmed that he will leave Juventus at the end of the season once his contract with the Old Lady expires in the summer. The 28-year-old, who has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham in recent times, announced his decision to part ways with the Italian giants, via a heartfelt message on Twitter.
In February, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City were all offered the chance to sign Dybala on a pre-contract agreement, according to 90Min. And, according to Calciomercato, via Football Italia, the Argentine's agent, Jorge Antun, was in London this week to discuss a potential move with interested Premier League clubs.
Lewandowski speaks on his future
Robert Lewandowski has lifted the lid on his future ahead of the upcoming transfer window, following Bayern Munich's 2-2 draw with VfL Wolfsburg. The 33-year-old, who has won the Bundesliga without fail since arriving at the Allianz Arena in 2014, has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea lately.
As per Gianluigi Longari, he said: "It is very likely that this is my last match with Bayern. I can't say one-hundred per cent, but maybe it was. We want to find the best solution for me and the club."
Ahead of the January transfer window and prior to the sanctioning of Roman Abramovich, Chelsea transfer chief Marina Granovskaia was offered the chance to sign the £26 million-rated striker from Bayern in a deal that would see Timo Werner potentially head the other way, according to football consultant Ian McGarry.
