Perišić is still under contract with Tottenham for the entirety of the upcoming season. Given his professionalism, it seems unlikely that he will terminate the contract prematurely. It is most probable that his return to Hajduk (as he had previously promised) will only occur in 2024, when his contract expires and he becomes a free agent again.
Yeah, that sounds like a possible scenario. However, with 35 years of age next year, maybe some other club will want to sign him on a one year contract. But I have to admit, it would be nice to see him play for Hajduk. I just hope he won't be like Livaja. I can't stand that guy...
Yes, Livaja is such a character, a conflicted player and a man who likes to provoke other fans and even insult.
The stories surrounding Perisic have quieted down at the moment and it seems that it is not realistic that he will play for Hajduk this year.
By the way, the new season in the Croatian league begins with today's Super Cup match. The first match between the two biggest rivals, Dinamo and Hajduk, will answer questions about their current strength and quality and what we can expect in the new season.
Soon we will see all 4 Croatian clubs in the qualifying matches for European competitions, and it will be interesting to see if anyone else can join Dinamo and enter the group stage of European competitions.
