Chelsea are reported to have reached an agreement to sign Ivan Perišić from Inter Milan on a free transfer.
Nothing though can be approved or confirmed until their takeover by the consortium fronted by Todd Boehly gets the green light from the UK government.
The Croat international, who is now 33, has been with Inter since 2015, but his contract is coming to an end shortly, and now it looks like the wing back is heading to West London.
That is subject to the final contractual terms being ironed out and him passing a medical.
If he is to leave the Serie A club he does so on a high note, with his extra time brace against Juventus earlier this week enough to enable Inter to win the Coppa Italia.
He spent the 2019 – 2020 season on loan with Bayern Munich where he lifted more silverware, including the Champions League.

He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
