It will really depend on his replacement. Only time will tell. I think he still has one good year left in him but his salary is too high for our current financial situation.The only thing, I could think of at this moment of reflection is a line from Dads Army : " Do you think it's wise..."
Agree completely, if he would take a healthy salary cut I'd be willing to have him on a 2 year deal.It will really depend on his replacement. Only time will tell. I think he still has one good year left in him but his salary is too high for our current financial situation.
Kolarov cut his salary in half, I doubt Perisic wouldThey renewed Kolarov and Ranocchia but won't renew Perisic. Perfectly sound management.
There was no renewing to be done with Perisic. Kolarov's and Ranocchia's contracts ended last summer, Perisic contract ends next summer.They renewed Kolarov and Ranocchia but won't renew Perisic. Perfectly sound management.

Also it's about Perisic too, what does he want. If he wants to keep his salary level at 5m€, we ain't gonna renew for sure. Case in point, Kolarov halved is salary to 1.5m€ net and AFAIK Ranocchia took a paycut too to 1m€+bonus level.
If Perisic accepts lower salary and like 2-year deal, I'm sure our management is interested.
Yes but Perisic is used as a left wing back and has pretty much settled at that position, I doubt he would be replaced by Thuram who would have to settle for a totally new role compared to AML, maybe we could still go for someone like Kostic.Perisic is an AML. Thuram also plays as AML usually.
Yes, Perisic is AML but he can also play as wingback. He was even used as left fullback sometmes.Perisic is an AML. Thuram also plays as AML usually.
Not really. Cancelo, Cuadrado and Kostic switched from winger to wingback, or even fullback, and be excellent with it.Yes, Perisic is AML but he can also play as wingback. He was even used as left fullback sometmes.
All that has no relation to Thuram. Thuram is more than anything, a forward. Forward or offensive winger. I doubt he has never played in a role which requires some extensive defensive responsibilities. Perisic is a unique player, very smart player who was able to take such responsibilities.
Cancelo, Cuadrado are flank players, wide midfielders or wingers by trade. Thuram is a forward, essentially a striker on the left. Their characteristics and the way they play is completely different. Thuram has also played half his career as an outright centre forward. How many of of Perisic, Cuadrado, Kostic or Cancelo played half their careers as a striker?Not really. Cancelo, Cuadrado and Kostic switched from winger to wingback, or even fullback, and be excellent with it.
