  • Story Text: Inter Milan have boosted their frontline after signing Croatia forward Ivan Perisic from VfL Wolfsburg on a five-year deal, the German club said on Monday (August 31).
    The two clubs did not provide any further details of the transfer but the move was reportedly worth 20 million euros ($22.48 million) after months of negotiations.
    "I had a good and successful time in Wolfsburg. I would like to thank Wolfsburg officials for making my move to Italy possible," Perisic said in a Wolfsburg statement.
    The 26-year-old joined the Wolves in 2013, netting 18 times in 70 Bundesliga matches.
    Wolfsburg have also sold attacking midfielder Kevin De Bruyne to Manchester City for a reported Bundesliga record of about 75 million euros and are seen as close to signing talented 21-year-old Germany international Julian Draxler from Schalke.
