Amidst uncertainties surrounding the future of a seasoned Tottenham stalwart, an overseas club has emerged as a contender for securing his signature as the season draws to a close.
Tottenham’s squad currently houses several experienced players whose tenure at the club may be approaching its conclusion. Notable figures include goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, center-back Eric Dier, and the versatile Ivan Perisic, all of whom find themselves in the final year of their contracts in North London.
Lloris has notably ceased to feature in matchday squads, where Forster now serves as a backup to the impressive new No 1, Guglielmo Vicario. Meanwhile, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is reportedly contemplating a potential sale of Dier in the upcoming transfer window to avoid losing a valuable asset for free several months later.
However, with Cristian Romero sidelined due to a hamstring injury for a projected four to five weeks, Dier’s role may be poised for a potential revival.
Yet, the focus of today’s discourse revolves around the unfortunate plight of Ivan Perisic, who sustained a serious ACL injury back in September. Given his uncertain return before the season concludes and amid a lack of indications about a potential new contract, considerations loom over whether he has already participated in his final match for Tottenham.
Should Perisic’s departure materialize at season’s end, a potential homecoming to Croatia with Hajduk Split could be in the offing. Notably, Perisic had spent his formative years at Hajduk Split from 2000 to 2006 before opting to make a move to the French outfit, Sochaux, during his teenage years.
In light of these circumstances, quotes from Hajduk manager, Mislav Karoglan, carried by Sport Witness, indicate a readiness to welcome Perisic back to his boyhood club, expressing, “I don’t know how his recovery is going after the injury, and the only thing I can say from my side is that I would like to have him in the dressing room whenever possible.”
Reports originating from Croatia further suggest that Perisic’s potential return to Hajduk is a realistic prospect, especially given that his transfer would incur no additional fee, with some reports even claiming a verbal agreement being in place.
While the veracity of these claims remains to be substantiated, the potential departure of Perisic from Tottenham appears to have garnered significant interest, demonstrating his standing as a seasoned left-footer with a prospective landing spot in the event of a parting of ways with his current club.
