Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick is eyeing a free agent addition to his attacking ranks this summer.
That’s according to Mundo Deportivo, citing German outlet BILD, who point towards Ivan Perišić as the player in question.
Veteran winger Perišić, for his part, is a player familiar to Barcelona boss Flick.
The pair spent a season together in Germany at Bayern Munich, with the Croatian understood to have left a positive impression on his then-manager.
Despite his advancing years – Perišić is now 36 – he enjoyed an altogether productive campaign on the books of Dutch heavyweights PSV Eindhoven this past season.
All told, in 39 appearances across all competitions, the former Inter Milan man racked up 16 goals, and 11 assists.
And such production, it is understood, has not gone unnoticed on the part of those at Barcelona…
As per MD, amid an ongoing search for reinforcements out wide for 2025/26:
‘In Germany, the Bild newspaper is reporting that Hansi Flick would like to sign Ivan Perišić, who is now a free agent.’
Any move for the Croatian international would not have an impact on Barca’s pursuit of Liverpool star Luis Díaz.
