The newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo' revealed today, Saturday, that coach Hans Flick, the head coach of FC Barcelona, is considering signing Croatian winger Ivan Perisic in a free transfer during the summer transfer window.

Perisic's name has been on Barcelona's table since last summer, but the discussion has resurfaced following previous statements by sporting director Deco, who emphasized the need to strengthen the winger position to provide alternatives for both Raphinha and Lamine Yamal.

Luis Diaz has been linked to this role, while Perisic is viewed as a potential option, especially after his good performance with PSV Eindhoven.

Perisic played last season with the Dutch team, appearing in 19 matches as a right winger and 9 on the left, in addition to one match as a center forward, scoring 11 goals and providing 11 assists.

Experience is a strong point for the Croatian star, despite being 36 years old, as he could be a significant addition to a young team like Barcelona, especially with his readiness to accept a substitute role.

Perisic has a strong relationship with Flick, having previously played under his leadership at Bayern Munich, and participated in the famous 8-2 victory over Barcelona in the 2020 Champions League, as part of the team that won the continental title at that time.

Perisic's contract recently ended with Hajduk Split, allowing him to join Eindhoven as a free agent, which facilitates his potential move to Barcelona, especially as the Catalan club is looking for low-cost signings to strengthen its squad.
