Paper Talk: Premier League showdown for Inter star; De Vrij heading to Stamford Bridge

Italian sports daily La Gazzetta dello Sport understands that three Premier League heavyweights are lining up for an assault on Inter Milan play-maker Ivan Perisic. The pink journal states that Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool all have the 27-year-old Croatian international on their respective radars which could spark a summer bidding war.
 
A €16 million signing from Wolfsburg in 2015, Perisic has turned out to be money well spent and after some devastating performances this season for the Nerazzurri, his current market value is believed to be around €35 million.
