New signing Perisic answered fan questions on the club’s official Facebook page, praising Italian food and revealing he plays beach volleyball.

“I can play in any midfield role and even in attack. In my career I’ve played everywhere, including in defence!!!

“There are two days to go for the derby and we are all ready to give our all for victory. I know the choreography in the stands is huge and I’ll see them close up on Sunday.

“I hope to score on my debut in the derby, that is my big wish, but the important thing is getting three points for the team.

“I played in this stadium twice, San Siro is an icon and in my first game here I scored against Italy. I haven’t had a chance to walk round Milan much yet, but they tell me it’s a beautiful city.

“Serie A is not like the Bundesliga, but I don’t think I’ll have problems adapting to this League. Scudetto? We have to take it one game at a time.”

Perisic was asked about his new teammates, Mauro Icardi and Stevan Jovetic.

“We played against Inter last season in the Europa League. I heard he scored a great deal and everyone tells me he’s a fantastic striker, the kind Inter really need.

“Jovetic is one of the greatest players in the Balkans, so I already knew all about him. It won’t be difficult playing by his side.

 

“I met Javier Zanetti in Modena and he wished me the best. It was great to meet a legend like him.”
