Chelsea could be set to be handed a major blow in the race to sign Inter Milan wide-man Ivan Perisic ahead of the summer. football.london understand that there is concrete interest from the Blues, who tried to sign the 33-year-old in the January transfer window.
The Croatia international, who has just one-year left on his current deal with the Nerazurri, featured 35 times for Simone Inzaghi's side in the Serie A this season, directly contributing towards 15 goals. His impressive displays in recent years have courted the interest of several top-flight clubs, though a switch to the Premier League has never materialised.
According to Sports Mediaset, Perisic has demanded a new three-year deal worth just under £100,000-per-week with Inter, but they've offered him two-year deal worth around £65,000-per-week instead. But, amid growing speculation regarding the Croatian's future, Fabrizio Romano has outlined that the Italian giants have improved their proposal in a bid to ward off interest.
