Gianluca Di Marzio reveals only way Ivan Perisic deal can happen

Inter Milan star Ivan Perisic emerged as an option for Arsenal with a loan approach made to Serie A side. Arsenal have until Thursday to agree on a move for the Croatia international, who was previously in Manchester United’s crosshairs. However, The Gunners will have to take on the 29-year-old full-time in order to secure his services. According to Sky Italia reporter Gianluca Di Marzio Arsenal offered Inter an initial loan fee of £4.3m (€5m), with a £34.6m (€40m) summer switch then on the cards. Inter Milan, though, are only willing to let Perisic leave on a permanent basis before the end of the January transfer window.
