Manchester United winked at him, but Luciano Spalletti convinced him to stay at Inter, as Ivan Perisic admitted himself to Four Four Two magazine: "It's true, there was an offer on the part of Manchester United and I was close to leaving Inter, but I decided to stay. Spalletti's perseverance was decisive: he kept telling me that I would play a central role in his Inter. In football, the small details make the difference in situations like these."
He decided to stay, but the ambition to move to the Premier League still remains for the Croatian: "I've always said that playing in the Premier League would be my dream, everything is possible in football, we'll see, but now I'm focused on Inter, but I hope one day the fans will understand."
