The Borussia Dortmund attacker has revealed his desire to leave the club at the end of this season following insufficient playing time.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ivan-c17215 Perisic has confirmed that he might leave Borussia Dortmund at the end of this season. The player has shown his frustration after being confined to bench for most part of this campaign. Perisic has hardly received first team
opportunities at Dortmund and has mostly been used as a substitute.
The former Club Brugge player has criticised Jurgen Klopp for not keeping his promises and is eager to look for a new challenge in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Croatian international wanted to player regularly to represent his country in Euro 2012 but his bench role may have cost him the place in the squad for the European championship.
Perisic admitted that he is frustrated with his current role at the club and has demanded regular playing time from the manager. The attacking midfielder joined Dortmund from the Belgian outfit in 2011 and has only managed 17 league
appearances for the club, netting thrice during the process. Most of these 17 appearances have been as a second-half substitute.
While talking to a local sports publication, Kicker, the 23-year-old further added:
"I came here to play, not to sit on the bench. When I see how we win as I sit on the bench, it kills me. I do not want to wait until someone is injured to play. I just want to play. And if not at Borussia, then at another club."
The attacker has fallen down the pecking order of midfielders at the Signal Iduna Park with the likes of Mario Gotze, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jakub-Blaszczykowski-c17616 and Kevin Grosskreutz performing well enough to cement their places in the starting XI.
Perisic is currently under a five-year contract with the Black Yellows after signing for 5 million Euros last summer.
It is believed that the Borussians might be forced to sell the attacker during the summer if they are not able to guarantee him a place in the starting line-up. At the moment, Perisic is nearing his first piece of silverware with
the German giants.The Borussians are favourites to win the Bundesliga and have also reached the last four of the German Cup.
