The newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo' revealed today, Saturday, that coach Hans Flick, the head coach of Barcelona, is considering signing Croatian winger Ivan Perisic on 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 confirmed the need to strengthen the winger position to provide alternatives for both Raphinha and Lamine Yamal.

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

Perisic played last season with the Dutch team, participating 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 considered a strength for the Croatian star, despite being 36 years old, as he could be an important addition to a young team like Barcelona, especially with his willingness to accept a substitute role.

Perisic has a strong relationship with Flick, having previously played under his management at Bayern Munich, participating in the significant 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, as the Catalan club is looking for low-cost deals to strengthen its squad.
