Chelsea 'edge closer to sealing the signing of Ivan Perisic on a free transfer from Inter Milan this summer', as Italian media report Blues have an agreement 'formalised' if takeover is complete

Chelsea have reportedly reached an agreement with Inter Milan to sign Ivan Perisic on a free transfer this summer.

Perisic has been on Inter's books since 2015, but his stay at the club looks set to end in the coming weeks, with his contract expiring next month.

The Croatian wing-back is expected to join Chelsea, subject to a medical and the final terms of the deal being ironed out, as reported by Italian media outlet Sports Mediaset via Metro.
