A product of the Hajduk Split youth academy, Perišić made 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 for €20 million.
Perišić made his debut for the Croatia national team in 2011, representing the nation at UEFA Euro 2012, 2014 FIFA World Cup and Euro 2016.
Early career
Aged only 17, Perišić received a large amount of interest from a number of clubs, including Anderlecht, PSV, Ajax, Trabzonspor, Hertha BSC and Hamburger SV, before he eventually signed with French club Sochaux. He moved to France from Hajduk Split. In Split, he was called "the new Asanović" by some journalists, a reference to a famous Croatian midfielder who also played in France. From 2007 till January 2009, he played for Sochaux's reserve team.
Roeselare (loan)
In 2009, Perišić was on loan for half a season at Roeselare in the Belgian First Division. Shortly after moving, Perišić made front page headlines, describing him as a "new Aljoša Asanović". At Roeselare, Perišić managed to secure a place in the first team squad and immediately made an impact with four goals and two assist. His appearances and goals continued to rise and at the end of the season, transfer speculation reports that Perišić was on the verge of joining Belgian giant Anderlecht.
Club Brugge
On 26 August 2009, Belgian club Club Brugge signed Perišić from Sochaux for €250,000 on a three-year deal. Prior his move, Perišić was linked with a move to German side Hertha BSC, having gone on trial.
In the opening game of the season, Perišić scored his first goal in a 1–1 draw against Genk, then scored his second in two consecutive games and provided assists in a 4–1 win over Westerlo. Overall, Perišić scored 9 goals in 33 league appearances, also making eight appearances in Brugge's UEFA Europa League campaign, scoring four goals. At the end of the season, Perišić signed a three-year deal at Brugge, keeping him until 2015.
Belgian football critics predicted a bright future for Perišić. In the 2010–11 season, he was the top scorer of the Belgian Jupiler Pro League after scoring 22 goals for Club Brugge, also being named Player of the Year in Belgium. During the season, Perišić scored four goals in a match and provided an assist as Brugge thrashed Charleroi on 29 December 2010.

He made his competitive debut for the club three days later, starting and playing 85 minutes in a 1–0 win against cross-city rivals Milan in the Derby della Madonnina.
He scored his first Inter goal in his fifth league appearance in the 1–1 away draw against Sampdoria, finishing home an Mauro Icardi's assist, which was followed by another goal against Palermo two weeks later.
