Ivan Perisic was given permission by Tottenham Hotspur to rejoin Hajduk Split in Croatia, and this decision is generating a lot of media attention.

In September, Tottenham made a move to recruit Hajduk Split wonderkid Luka Vuskovic, arranging for the defender to join when he turns 18 in 2025.

That generated suspicions about Spurs wide player Ivan Perisic moving the other way in Croatia.

Originally from Split, Perisic grew up cheering for Hajduk and even played youth league football for six years.

Perisic has achieved success throughout Europe, and there was optimism that he would make a heartfelt return to Hajduk by trying to win the league title.

After suffering a serious injury in September that cast doubt on the contract, the 34-year-old Perisic has officially completed his return to Hajduk and signed a loan agreement that will last until the end of the current campaign.

After his Spurs contract expires, Perisic will sign a one-year permanent contract with Hajduk, a move that will make significant news in Croatia.

Ivan Perisic’s Tottenham Hotspur exit is a ‘big thing’

With six points more than Rijeka and seven more than Dinamo Zagreb, Perisic joins a Hajduk team that leads Croatia’s premier division.

Perisic is coming back to attempt and help Hajduk get across the finish line and end a nearly 20-year wait for top spot, as Hajduk haven’t won a league title since 2005.

Winning the tile this season would be something else; Torcida Split, the fans’ group, is known for their extravagant celebrations. That would cause spectacular scenes in Split.

Now that Perisic is a part of that objective, former Hajduk player and former Croatian international Hrvoje Vejić has expressed his opinion.

Vejic stated that Perisic to Hajduk is a “big thing” for Croatian football and definitely for Hajduk in an interview with Sportske Novosti.

Vejic goes so far as to say that there is “euphoria” around the transfer because Perisic is one of the biggest names Split could have signed at this time.

Despite suffering an injury and being in the later stages of his career, Perisic is thought to be a fantastic addition, generating “understandable” anticipation.

For Croatian football as a whole, this is significant. especially Hajduk. It makes perfect sense why there is elation upon Ivan’s arrival. Veijc stated, “Perišić is the biggest name that Hajduk could bring in right now, regardless of his injury.”

It’s possible that Perisic’s time at Tottenham didn’t go as planned; although Spurs had a terrible season the previous year, he was considered as an experienced player who could really assist Antonio Conte go forward.

Spurs fans will undoubtedly watch Perisic from a distance when he returns to his childhood club in the hopes that he can win the league championship and give Hajduk supporters even more happiness.
