According to Bild , coach Hansi Flick wants to welcome Perisic, the player who just finished his contract at PSV and is currently a free player. Despite being 36 years old, the Croatian star still had an explosive season at PSV with 16 goals and 8 assists in all competitions.

Perisic's experience could be a boon to Barcelona's current squad, which lacks players with character and character. Perisic will play as a backup to the wing duo of Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.

Coach Flick once worked with Perisic at Bayern Munich, when the "Gray Tigers" won the 2019/20 Champions League. Croatian media reported that coach Flick called Perisic to invite him to play for Barcelona.

According to Mundo Deportivo , Perisic was targeted by Barcelona to strengthen the left winger position since last season, but the deal did not happen.

The fact that Perisic is free of charge and is being offered a reasonable salary gives Barcelona the confidence to complete the deal. This also means that targets like Rashford or Luis Diaz could be overlooked by Barcelona.

On May 31, Marca reported that negotiations between Barcelona and Rashford had reached a deadlock. Rashford was willing to take a pay cut and wanted to join the reigning La Liga champions more than any other club. However, Barcelona did not want to meet the £40 million transfer fee that MU offered.
