Perisic on a free? What's not to like about that. Will be competing with Chilly for that LWB role and allows us to focus funds on other areas. Win/win situation.

Perisić would’ve been very exciting 5 years ago. Very strange signing now, though.

A lot of people would have looked at Silva in the same way given his age.

He's always been a naturally fit, hard working player so would imagine fitness wouldn't be an issue even at this stage of his career.

As I mentioned I haven't really seen enough of him the last year or two to know if he's still a good player but from what other's are saying on here and twitter, he seems to have been playing at an extremely high level still and reinvented himself in a wing back role.

True. He does indeed still appear to be lightning quick and super athletic despite being nearly 34. Doesn’t look to have lost a step.

If the idea is to gradually ease Chilly back into the team at the start of next season then Perisić makes sense. He’s certainly a colossal upgrade over Alonso or playing Pulisic/CHO there.

He's also comfortable with both feet so would provide an option on both flanks potentially.

His agent denies these rumors

Tbf none of the reliable journos are reporting Perisic to us, so far the news came only from Sportmediaset.

[Vesper 30,106]

NO to Ibrahim Sangaré

Bakayoko 2.0

will lose my fucking mind if we shit away £30-35m on him

             👎🏾

Probably for LWB, which could mean Tuchel want to stick with the back three.

That makes a lot more sense

Super crappy source. I hope neither happen. Both would be poor signigns, albeit there is a case for Perisic. I dont think he can make the step up from italy to prem at 33 tho

What's wrong with him? (Genuine question as I've never seen him play)

he is basically Bakayoko, but in the Eredivisie

undisciplined (2 reds in 4 Europa League games)

poor passer, and I can see him not being able to cope with the pressure play of the EPL

plus, he is another African Sr international who will miss big chunks of play for us when he goes to play for Cote d'Ivoire

Chelsea needs to go for him 2.5 year contract.

 

Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidžić confirms Robert Lewandowski asked to leave the club and said he won’t extend his contract: “

He said that he would like to try something new. But our position has not changed. ‘Lewa’ has a contract until June 30, 2023. That is a fact."
