Inter have an agreement in principle with Ivan Perisic for a January return, but PSV hold the decisive cards — a Champions League exit to Bayern could trigger his departure. Betting angle: punters might back Inter to complete the transfer in January or target short-term markets (Perisic to start or assist) once PSV’s European fate is sealed, with odds likely to shorten if PSV are eliminated.
Inter edging closer to Perisic but PSV still in control
Inter have reportedly reached an agreement in principle with veteran winger Ivan Perisic over a potential return to San Siro in January. The deal is far from done, however, because PSV Eindhoven — where Perisic is contracted until 2027 — remain reluctant to sanction a midseason exit for the 36-year-old.
Why Inter want Perisic
The Nerazzurri are searching for wing-back cover after a long-term injury to Denzel Dumfries. Perisic’s versatility, Serie A experience and proven ability to operate on both flanks make him an attractive short-term solution despite his age. His familiarity with the club and dressing room dynamics would aid a quick integration.
PSV’s leverage and the Bayern factor
PSV’s stance is key: they are unlikely to let Perisic go unless circumstances force their hand. A pivotal moment arrives when Bayern Munich visit Eindhoven — a defeat that knocks PSV out of the Champions League could change PSV’s calculus and make them more amenable to selling in January.
Timing, contract situation and likely pathway
Perisic remains under contract in the Netherlands until the end of 2026-27, so any transfer requires PSV’s agreement. The club’s European status and squad needs will influence negotiations; a January exit looks contingent on PSV’s Champions League outcome and internal discussions about squad depth.
On-pitch impact and tactical fit
Perisic would bring experience, crossing ability and tactical flexibility to Inter’s wing-back roles. He could step in immediately as a stop-gap solution, offering attacking intent from wide areas and the ability to cover either flank depending on the coach’s needs.
Betting implications
Markets may react quickly if PSV are eliminated: transfer futures for Inter signing Perisic would likely shorten, and short-term markets (Perisic to start, score or assist in early appearances) could offer value for punters who anticipate immediate game time.
Matchbook and transfer props tied to January moves could shift once PSV’s Champions League fate is clear. Punters should monitor the Bayern–PSV result and bookie updates before committing.
