According to the publication, Perisic is said to be demanding a three-year contract worth just under £100,000-per-week but Inter are only ready to offer him £65,000-per-week.

Tuchel confirms Andreas Christensen is leaving Chelsea

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has confirmed Andreas Christensen will be leaving Stamford Bridge this summer.

The Denmark international has widely been linked with a potential exit at the end of the season, with Barcelona understood to be in a pole position to land his services.

The Sun reports the Blues had offered him a new contract but the uncertainty over the ownership of the club left the defender with no choice but to leave.

Tuchel has now come out to reveal Chelsea stand no chance of keeping Christensen beyond the ongoing season.
