Barça are still looking for a winger to come in from the left of the attack and the difficulty in signing Nico Williams forces them to sharpen their wits.
Kingsley Coman is also in trouble and in the last few hours a name has been mentioned that would fit due to his contractual situation, experience and affinity with Hansi Flick . It is the Croatian Ivan Perisic (35 years old), who has just terminated his contract with Hajduk Split and who would arrive on a free transfer.
Nikola Kalinic , formerly of Atlético de Madrid and current sporting director of the Croatian club, has confirmed this afternoon an agreement to break the contract of the Croatian international, who had just signed for Hajduk Split after being released by Tottenham, but who has not reached an agreement with his coach, Gennaro Gattuso . Staying in the stands against Lokomotiv Zagreb was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
In this context, the Croatian media outlet ’24sata’ publishes that Hansi Flick, aware of the situation, has called him to play for Barça. He was under his orders at Bayern in the sextet and also scored in that 8-2 against the Barça team on the way to the title in the 2029-20 Champions League.
And Perisic ‘s affirmative response to Flick is taken for granted due to the chemistry between them and because in his extensive career he only has to play in the Spanish League after competing, among other leagues, in the Bundesliga (Bayern, Dortmund, Wolfsburg), Serie A (Inter) and Premier League (Tottenham).
His age may be a handicap, but he could be the counterpoint in a very young Barça that also needs references from players with character and experience.
