Arsenal's hopes of landing want-away Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic is doomed to failure.
The 29-year-old Croatia international is with the Inter squad preparing for tonight's Coppa Italia quarter-final against Lazio at the San Siro.
And coach Luciano Spalletti has not ruled out Perisic playing a role in the game despite threatening to go on strike to force through a move to the Gunners.
Perisic, who was a summer target for Manchester United after an outstanding World Cup, has struggled for form this season.
He felt a move to the Emirates would give him a new lease of life.
But Inter were not interested in Arsenal's bid to arrange a loan deal without an agreement for a permanent move being included in the arrangement.
The Nerazzurri value Perisic at £35million, but Arsenal simply cannot afford anything like that figure at present and Inter bosses have grown frustrated with dragging negotiations.
Now Inter coach Spalletti has been impressed with Perisic's attitude during preparations for the Lazio game.

Idk if many of the Arsenal faithful know this but he’s been investing in his American football team a LOT in recent years so it’s not that he isn’t using the money he’s just not using it in Arsenal FC. (Am an Arsenal fan)

it would be a good trio upfront but what is the difference if the would be scoring 4 goals per game and we are conceding 5. What we need is a talented young bright defender to be our backbone like di ligt or yerri mina we do not need any more attackers for now #defenders
Don't worry, we will get there...we are rebuilding and as things are... it will appear slower... but we will get there and, begin to shot downtown our enemies...

If you can’t pay £35 for perisic What makes you think you can afford what Ajax will ask for De Ligt And why would De Ligt want to waste his career like that?
what I meant is that we need defenders instead of more attackers

I don’t feel the real goal of Arsenal, there are too many target players, and no one can come.

United wanted him badly as sell as Chelsea, wat happened after 1 and half seasons,,, I wish very big club could ignore him,,, he should go and retire at Monaco
We wanted him since past 2 seasons but Inter pricing him €50-€55 mil I think? It’s too high for his age that’s why the board ignored Mourinho request to bring him to OT. I think Inter just too ridiculous with the price for Perisic

The important bit there is Inter have turned down the loan offer and Perisic has put in a transfer request. Arsenal cannot make transfers apparently

Anybody can hav him for the correct price, as an Inter fan we have had many problems over the years and players like him are at the top of that pyramid. Top class for a few games, then rubbish for a chunk of games, We have and had loads of inconsistent players like him at Inter

He would be a good addition. Wanted him at United last year!

Thats harsh dear, he is the ultimate replacement for Ramsey tho. We will be better with him in the team next to Torriera, Ozil, Xhaka, and Auba and Laca. We losing Ramsey so I say YES, adequate replacement, if not better

He rejected United's offer and a multi- million pound contract to accept arsenal's loan request!!! his medical should be done in a mental hospital see if he has a brain at all

I would take him all day long and we can rotate Iwobi on the left side of the midfield

I strongly dont want him at arsenal. We need two good defenders ds window. Our attack is decent.
