MUNICH (AP) — Ivan Perisic is heading back to Inter Milan after Bayern Munich decided not to use an option to buy the winger, who helped the German club win the Champions League while on loan last season.
Bayern thanked Perisic for his role in winning three trophies during his season-long loan, which was extended when the coronavirus pandemic delayed the end of the campaign. However, Bayern said Wednesday that Perisic will now return to Inter, where he is under contract for another two years.
“Ivan has behaved very professionally in this year with us and he was an important member of our team and had a role in winning the German title, the German Cup and the Champions League,” Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidzic said in a statement.
