According to reports, a move for the former only fell through after he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in Man City&#8217;s Community Shield win over Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Perisic was confirmed on a temporary move, potentially keeping the option of Sane open for next summer. The deal has received some criticism due to Perisic&#8217;s age and subpar season for Inter Milan.<\/p>\n<p>But Kovac has hit back at those writing Perisic off before he&#8217;s kicked a ball for Bayern.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis debate is basically wrong. Every player deserves some respect,&#8221; he told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/2019\/aug\/13\/every-player-deserves-some-respect-bayerns-kovac-defends-perisic-signing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reporters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is too easy to always criticise someone. First you don\u2019t [sign] someone and then not the next one either then you suddenly have a XY-solution? That is not good.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStefan Effenberg joined Bayern at the age of 30 and won the Champions League with the club. We have to get away from looking at the age [of someone].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kovac&#8217;s sentiments were echoed by Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic, who <a href=\"https:\/\/fcbayern.com\/en\/news\/2019\/08\/press-releaase-ivan-peri%C5%A1i%C4%87-joins-fc-bayern-on-loan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>: \u201cIvan will help us from the start with his extensive experience at a top international level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has good technique and he\u2019s flexible in attack.
