Milan, Sep 9 (IANS) Inter Milan have announced the contract extension of Croatian winger Ivan Perisic until June 30, 2022.

The 28-year-old was a Manchester United target this summer with Inter demanding more than $60 million to sell.

“FC Internazionale Milano are happy to announce that Ivan Perisic has renewed his contract and will remain with the Nerazzurri until June 30, 2022,” the Italian club said in a statement on Friday.

Perisic joined Inter during the 2015-16 season from Wolfsburg. He has since gone on to make 81 appearances in Serie A, domestic cups and the Europa League. He has scored 20 goals for Inter.

“It’s certainly emotional and I’m happy after the stress of this summer. Now, we can look forward and I’m only thinking about Inter. After signing, the pitch is the only thing left for me to think about.”

Perisic has represented Croatia 59 times, scoring 16 goals.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
