Bayern Munich sign winger Ivan Perisic on loan from Inter Milan

Berlin: Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich have signed Inter Milan and Croatia winger Ivan Perisic on a one-year loan deal, the club confirmed on Tuesday.

"Ivan will help us immediately with his many years of international experience," said Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic.

Perisic, 30, is widely considered to be Bayern's back-up option after their bid to sign Leroy Sane was derailed by the Manchester City winger's recent knee injury.
