Ivan Perišić (; born 2 February 1989) is a Croatian professional footballer currently playing as a winger for Eredivisie side PSV. While predominantly positioned on the left wing, he has also operated as a left wing-back, right winger, and earlier in his career as an attacking midfielder or secondary striker. Celebrated for his two-footed ability and adaptability, Perišić is widely regarded as one of Croatia's most outstanding football talents.
His formative years were spent in the youth setups of Hajduk Split and Sochaux. Perišić rose to prominence at Club Brugge, where he earned the distinction of top scorer in the Belgian Pro League and was honored as Belgian Footballer of the Year in 2011. This success facilitated his transfer to Borussia Dortmund, where he contributed to their 2011–12 Bundesliga triumph. In January 2013, he transferred to VfL Wolfsburg for €8 million and was part of the squad that won the 2015 DFB-Pokal final. Subsequently, Perišić joined Inter Milan for €16 million and was loaned to Bayern Munich in 2019, helping secure a treble-winning season. Upon returning to Inter, he played a key role in winning the 2020–21 Serie A title, the 2021 Supercoppa Italiana, and the 2021–22 Coppa Italia.
On the international stage, Perišić made his debut for Croatia in 2011 and has participated in UEFA European Championships (2012, 2016, 2020, 2024) as well as FIFA World Cups (2014, 2018, 2022). He notably scored the equalizing goal in the 2018 World Cup final and was instrumental in Croatia securing bronze at the 2022 tournament. As a pivotal member of Croatia's "second golden generation," he holds the record for the highest number of goal contributions at major international competitions for his nation (18).
Early career
Perišić began his football journey within the youth ranks of his hometown club, Hajduk Split. His potential attracted interest from several clubs such as Anderlecht, PSV, Ajax, Hertha BSC, and Hamburger SV. His sole appearance for Hajduk came during a friendly match—a 3–1 victory over Smederevo—in July 2006. Following this period, he received offers from both Anderlecht and Sochaux. Although Hajduk proposed a contract worth €100,000—near the salary level of their top player Niko Kranjčar—Perišić’s family opted for Sochaux, who invested €360,000 to secure his transfer that summer. The Sochaux coach Alain Perrin personally traveled to Split to finalize the deal.
Perišić drew comparisons to former Croatian international Aljoša Asanović due to his blend of physicality and technical prowess. He was part of Sochaux’s youth squad that captured the Coupe Gambardella in 2007 but did not make any appearances for their senior team, featuring only with the B squad. In January 2009, he went on a six-month loan to Belgian top division side Roeselare. By season’s end in 2008–09, reports suggested Perišić intended to join Anderlecht to pursue Champions League ambitions.
Club Brugge
On 26 August 2009, Perišić signed a three-year contract with Belgian outfit Club Brugge, who acquired him from Sochaux for €250,000. Prior to this transfer, he had trialed with German club Hertha BSC.
He opened his scoring account in the season’s first match—a 1–1 draw against Genk—and followed this by netting goals in two straight fixtures along with assists during a commanding 4–1 victory over Westerlo. Throughout that campaign, he amassed nine goals across 33 league matches and contributed four goals in eight games during Brugge’s Europa League run. At season’s close, Perišić extended his contract with Club Brugge through to 2015.
Belgian football analysts quickly acknowledged Perišić’s burgeoning talent. During the 2010–11 season, he emerged as the league’s leading scorer with 22 goals for Club Brugge and earned Belgium’s Player of the Year award. A standout performance included scoring four times and assisting once in a dominant 5–0 win against Charleroi on 29 December 2010.
Borussia Dortmund
On 23 May 2011, Perišić committed to a five-year deal with the German side Borussia Dortmund, with the transfer fee reported to be around €5 million from Brugge. He made his first appearance on 5 August, coming off the bench in a 3–1 triumph over Hamburger SV. During a Champions League fixture on 13 September 2011, he entered the match in the 69th minute and netted a late equalizer against Arsenal. On 14 October, he scored the opening goal in a 2–0 victory against Werder Bremen but was subsequently shown a red card. Later, on 21 April 2012, Perišić scored the winning goal in a 2–0 success over Borussia Mönchengladbach, contributing to Dortmund clinching their eighth national title.
Starting the 2012–13 Bundesliga season, Perišić recorded a brace in a narrow 3–2 defeat to Hamburger SV on 22 September 2012. Nevertheless, his involvement with the first team soon declined. He openly expressed dissatisfaction with manager Jürgen Klopp, accusing him of favoritism and insufficient support, which Klopp publicly denounced as unprofessional behavior, resulting in Perišić receiving a fine.
VfL Wolfsburg
Perišić moved to VfL Wolfsburg on 6 January 2013 for a transfer fee of €8 million. He found the net for the first time during a friendly match against Standard Liège on 10 January and made his official debut against VfB Stuttgart on 19 January. A left knee injury kept him out during March and April, but he returned in May, providing an assist against Hamburger SV and scoring twice versus his former club Borussia Dortmund.
On 3 August 2013, Perišić scored his inaugural cup goal in Wolfsburg’s 3–1 victory over Karlsruher SC. He began the 2013–14 Bundesliga season by both scoring and assisting in a 3–0 win against Werder Bremen on 26 October. On the final matchday (30), he scored two goals in a convincing 4–1 win over 1. FC Nürnberg. He ended the campaign with ten league goals, ranking second only to teammate Ivica Olić.
Inter Milan
On 30 August 2015, Perišić agreed to a five-year contract with Italian club Inter Milan, with the transfer valued at €16 million. His official presentation alongside Adem Ljajić took place on 10 September, where he was assigned jersey number 44 and described Inter as "an opportunity too significant to decline."
2015–16 season
Perišić made his competitive debut just three days after signing, starting and playing for 85 minutes in a 1–0 victory over city rivals Milan in the Derby della Madonnina. He opened his scoring account on 4 October with a goal assisted by Mauro Icardi in a 1–1 draw against Sampdoria, followed by another goal two weeks later versus Palermo.
His debut in the Coppa Italia came on 15 December when he scored in a commanding 3–0 win over Cagliari. On 6 January, Perišić played a crucial role by providing an assist for Icardi’s decisive goal in a victory against Empoli, helping Inter maintain their top league standing. Against Hellas Verona on 7 February, he entered as a substitute and contributed both an assist and a goal to secure a thrilling 3–3 draw.
March represented Perišić’s most productive period of the season, tallying four goals and three assists. A highlight included scoring during the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg against Juventus, aiding Inter’s comeback from a three-goal deficit to force penalties; however, Inter was eventually eliminated. He also scored Inter’s final goal of that season in a 2–1 win over Empoli on the closing matchday.
By season’s end, Perišić had accumulated 37 appearances (34 in Serie A), netted nine goals (seven within the league), and provided six assists—leading the team’s assist statistics. Inter secured fourth place in Serie A, returning to European competition after one year, and reached the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.
2016–17 season
Perišić kicked off his second campaign at Inter Milan by entering as a substitute for the last 30 minutes in a defeat to Chievo. He opened his scoring account for the season in the Derby d'Italia versus Juventus, heading in a cross from Mauro Icardi to secure Inter's first league triumph over Juventus since 2012.
His European debut with Inter came on 29 September during a Europa League group match against Sparta Prague, which ended in a 3–1 loss. On 20 November, in the Derby della Madonnina against AC Milan, Perišić set up Antonio Candreva and netted a last-minute equalizer, helping Inter claim a valuable point.
On 8 January 2017, Perišić earned Man of the Match honors by scoring both goals in a 2–1 away win against Udinese, marking his inaugural brace for Inter and raising his season total to six goals. He maintained his momentum by adding another goal in a 3–1 victory over Chievo.
On 5 February, Perišić received his first red card of his career during a 1–0 loss at Juventus. Initially handed a two-match ban by the Italian Football Federation, his suspension was later reduced to one game upon appeal. He made his return on 19 February in a 1–0 triumph over Bologna and recorded his second brace of the season on 5 March in a commanding 5–1 win against Cagliari.
Reaching double figures in goals for the first time at Inter, Perišić scored on 22 April despite a thrilling 5–4 defeat to Fiorentina. In the final fixture of the season, he contributed two assists and scored his 11th goal as Inter secured a convincing 5–2 victory over Udinese to finish strongly.
Concluding the season with 42 appearances across all competitions (36 in Serie A with 31 starts), Perišić tallied 11 goals—his best return since the 2010–11 season at Club Brugge—and provided ten assists (eight in Serie A), surpassing his previous assist record. Inter ended the campaign seventh in Serie A, once again missing out on UEFA Champions League qualification.
2017–18 season
Starting his third year at Inter Milan on a high note, Perišić scored and assisted in the Serie A opener against Fiorentina, followed by two assists in a notable 3–1 away victory at Roma—Inter’s first league win at the Stadio Olimpico in nearly a decade.
On 8 September, he renewed his contract with Inter until June 2022, expressing relief and dedication to focus fully on football. Two days later, he netted a long-range strike against newly promoted SPAL, marking his 20th goal in Serie A.
Perišić achieved his first Serie A hat-trick on 3 December during a dominant 5–0 home win over Chievo. He reached the milestone of 100 appearances for Inter on 30 December in a goalless draw versus Lazio.
2018–19 season
On 18 September 2018, Perišić made his Champions League debut for Inter by contributing to a 2–1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
In January 2019, Arsenal sought to acquire Perišić and reached an agreement; however, Inter Milan blocked the transfer. Wanda Nara, agent and partner of teammate Mauro Icardi, implied that Perišić’s motivation for leaving was personal, which sparked friction between the players. This discord resulted in Icardi being stripped of captaincy and omitted from the squad for a Europa League fixture against Rapid Wien.
Throughout the 2018–19 Serie A season, Perišić featured in 34 matches—ranking third most on the team—scoring eight goals and becoming Inter’s second highest scorer behind Icardi. Following Antonio Conte’s appointment as manager, Perišić found it challenging to adjust to the new tactical setup during pre-season training.
2019–20 season: Loan spell at Bayern Munich
On 13 August 2019, Perišić moved to German side Bayern Munich on a season-long loan deal that included an option for a permanent transfer in the summer of 2020. He opened his scoring account on 31 August by netting a goal and providing an assist in a comprehensive 6–1 triumph over Mainz. On 4 February 2020, during training, Perišić sustained a fracture to his right ankle caused by a challenge from teammate Álvaro Odriozola, which necessitated surgery the same day. He made his comeback on 17 May as a substitute in the match against Union Berlin following the league’s resumption after the COVID-19 break.
Perišić scored the opening goal on 10 June in the DFB-Pokal semi-final, helping Bayern secure a 2–1 win against Eintracht Frankfurt. In the final held on 4 July, he provided an assist to Robert Lewandowski as Bayern overcame Bayer Leverkusen 4–2, clinching the domestic double. On 8 August, he found the net in the Champions League round of 16 second leg versus Chelsea, contributing to a dominant 4–1 victory (7–1 on aggregate). Six days later, Perišić scored during Bayern’s emphatic 8–2 quarter-final win over Barcelona at Estádio da Luz. On 23 August, he became the eleventh Croatian player to lift the Champions League trophy as Bayern defeated Paris Saint-Germain 1–0 in the final.
However, on 9 September, Bayern announced they would not activate the option to purchase Perišić permanently after failing to reach terms with Inter Milan, leading to his return to his original club.
2020–21 season
Perišić registered his first goal of the season for Inter Milan on 31 October 2020 during a 2–2 home draw with Parma. Shortly after, on 3 November, he scored his inaugural Champions League goal for Inter in a narrow 2–3 loss against Real Madrid. Throughout spring, manager Conte lauded Perišić for successfully adapting to a new tactical position, transitioning from winger to wing-back.
With four games remaining on 2 May 2021, Inter clinched the Serie A title following a draw between Sassuolo and Atalanta, ending Juventus’ nine-year reign. This triumph marked Inter’s first league championship since the 2009–10 season and represented Perišić’s maiden major trophy with the Nerrazzuri.
2021–22 season
On 24 November 2021, Perišić earned acclaim for his display in Inter Milan’s 2–0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk during the Champions League, assisting Edin Džeko’s second goal. Although goals from both him and teammate Lautaro Martínez were disallowed, this result secured Inter’s progression to the Round of 16 stage for the first time since the 2011–12 season.
In the Coppa Italia final against Juventus on 11 May 2022, Perišić scored twice during extra time, turning a tied score of 2–2 into a decisive 4–2 win for Inter.
Tottenham Hotspur
On 31 May 2022, Tottenham Hotspur secured Perišić on a free transfer, reuniting him with his former coach Conte. He became the fifth Croatian player to join the squad. Perišić made his first appearance in a friendly against Rangers on 23 July, contributing to a 2–1 victory. His Premier League debut occurred on 6 August 2022 when he came on as a substitute during a 4–1 home win over Southampton.
Tottenham announced on 20 September 2023 that Perišić had sustained a severe anterior cruciate ligament injury in his right knee during training, necessitating surgical intervention.
Hajduk Split
Perišić returned to his hometown club Hajduk Split on loan until the end of the season, beginning 19 January 2024. Following the expiration of his Tottenham contract, Hajduk arranged for him to remain for an additional season. However, on 30 August 2024, both parties agreed to terminate the contract after an unsuccessful attempt to transfer him to a Serie A team before the deadline.
PSV
Dutch side PSV signed Perišić on a free one-year contract on 18 September 2024. He opened his scoring account for PSV on 2 November 2024 despite a 3–2 defeat against Ajax. On 11 February 2025, Perišić scored his inaugural UEFA Champions League goal for PSV in a 2–1 loss to Juventus, and followed up by scoring again in the second leg’s 3–1 victory, setting a record as the oldest player to score in successive Champions League knockout fixtures.
International career
Perišić advanced through Croatia’s youth national teams before earning his first senior cap at age 22 on 26 March 2011 against Georgia. At UEFA Euro 2012, he started two group-stage matches and appeared as a substitute in the final group game.
During the qualification phase for the 2014 World Cup, Perišić featured in twelve matches and netted his first international goal against Belgium. He was named in both Croatia’s preliminary and final squads for the tournament, scoring twice in preparatory friendlies and contributing goals during the competition despite Croatia’s elimination at the group stage. FIFA recognized him as the second-best player across all group matches.
In UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying, Perišić led Croatia as top scorer with six goals, helping secure second place in Group H. At Euro 2016, he scored decisive goals versus the Czech Republic and Spain but exited in the round of sixteen following defeat by eventual champions Portugal.
Perišić played an integral role throughout Croatia’s successful qualification for the 2018 World Cup, scoring important goals including one in a commanding 4–1 victory over Greece. Selected for the tournament squad, he scored late to clinch a win against Iceland and was pivotal in the semi-final triumph over England—registering both a goal and an assist—before scoring in the final against France as Croatia finished runners-up. He covered more ground than any other player during the tournament, totaling 72.5 kilometers.
During Euro 2020 qualifying, Perišić contributed three goals as Croatia topped Group E. He captained Croatia for the first time in November 2019, netting the winning goal versus Georgia, and again led the team in a Nations League fixture against France in September 2020.
On 1 June 2021, Perišić reached his centennial cap milestone by scoring against Armenia. At UEFA Euro 2020, he was Croatia’s most productive player with two goals and one assist but missed the knockout stages after testing positive for COVID-19.
Selected for Croatia’s squad at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Perišić provided three assists and scored once during the tournament. His performances extended his record as Croatia’s top contributor at major tournaments with eighteen goal involvements and surpassed Davor Šuker as Croatia’s all-time leading scorer at major competitions with ten goals.
Beach volleyball
Perišić took part in the 2017 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour during the Poreč Major event, teaming up with Nikša Dellorco. Their partnership ended early as they were defeated in the opening round by Álvaro Morais Filho and Saymon Barbosa.
Personal life
Originating from Split and growing up in Omiš, Perišić spent part of his youth assisting on his father's poultry farm. In 2012, he married Josipa, whom he had met during their high school years. Together, they have two children: a son named Leonardo (born 9 October 2012) and a daughter named Manuela (born 28 July 2014).
