BERLIN (Reuters) - Inter Milan have boosted their frontline after signing Croatia forward Ivan Perisic from VfL Wolfsburg on a five-year deal, the German club said on Monday. The two clubs did not provide any further details of the transfer but the move was reportedly worth 20 million euros ($22.48 million) after months of negotiations. "I had a good and successful time in Wolfsburg. I would like to that Wolfsburg officials for making my move to Italy possible," Perisic said in a Wolfsburg statement. The 26-year-old joined the Wolves in 2013, netting 18 times in 70 Bundesliga matches. Wolfsburg have also sold attacking midfielder Kevin De Bruyne to Manchester City for a reported Bundesliga record of about 75 million euros and are seen as close to signing talented 21-year-old Germany international Julian Draxler from Schalke.
