Report claims Ivan Perisic will earn almost double what Alasdair Gold reported
Ivan Perisic will reportedly sign a contract worth £180,000 per week at Tottenham when a deal for the free agent is finalised, according to the Telegraph.
The Croatia international is on the verge of signing with Spurs on a two-year deal with his Inter contract set to expire at the end of next month (BBC Sport).
The 33-year-old has been pencilled in to have a medical on Monday which will see him link back up with Antonio Conte, who guided Inter to the Serie A title last season.
Football.London recently reported that the deal will see Perisic pocket up to €6 million (£5.1m) per year, which would see his weekly earnings stand at £98,000-a-week.
However, the Telegraph has now revealed he will take home as much as £180,000 per week instead, after rejecting a contract offer worth €5 million after tax from Inter in favour of signing for Spurs.
Perisic, who scored 10 goals in 49 appearances this season (Transfermarkt), is expected to feature at left wing-back upon moving to north London where he previously featured for Conte.
Spurs Web Opinion
A two-year deal for someone like Perisic seems to be the play here considering his age and where he is at in his career. It ensures that if he does majorly struggle then Spurs aren’t stuck with him for too long.
But you can’t go wrong on a free transfer, especially given the fact he has been such a productive player at wing-back over the last few seasons. I would tend to believe Alasdair Gold’s wage prediction over this report.
