Ivan Perišić (Croatian pronunciation: ; born 2 February 1989) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Hrvatska nogometna liga club Hajduk Split and the Croatia national team. Usually deployed as a left winger, he has also featured as an attacking midfielder, second striker, or left wing-back. Known for his ambidexterity and versatility, he is considered to be one of the greatest Croatian players of all time.
A product of the Hajduk Split and Sochaux youth academies, Perišić made a name for himself while playing for Club Brugge, where he was the Belgian Pro League top goalscorer and was named Belgian Footballer of the Year for 2011. This earned him a transfer to Borussia Dortmund, with whom he won the 2011–12 Bundesliga, before signing with VfL Wolfsburg for €8 million in January 2013. He remained there for two and a half seasons, winning the 2015 DFB-Pokal final, before moving to Inter Milan for €16 million. In 2019, he joined Bayern Munich on loan, winning the treble. After returning to Inter Milan, he won the 2020–21 Serie A and the 2021 Supercoppa Italiana.
Perišić made his debut for the Croatia national team in 2011, and represented his nation at the UEFA European Championship in 2012, 2016, 2020 and 2024, as well as the FIFA World Cup in 2014, 2018 and 2022, reaching and scoring an equaliser in the final of the 2018 World Cup and winning a bronze medal at the 2022 World Cup. Instrumental to Croatia's second "golden generation", Perišić is the nation's player with most goal contributions at the major tournaments (18).
