The 36-year-old has emerged as a shock transfer target and was even featured on the front page of Spain’s Mundo Deportivo this week, sparking intense speculation about the potential move.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Flick is eager to reunite with Perisic, having previously coached him at Bayern Munich. Their past working relationship gives the new Barcelona boss confidence in what Perisic could bring to the team—not just experience, but also elite professionalism and versatility.
Perisic, who recently helped PSV win the Dutch Eredivisie title by contributing nine goals and eight assists, is known for his adaptability on the pitch.

He can play across the entire front line and has experience as a wing-back, making him a tactical asset in multiple formations.
Barcelona’s current squad features a number of young talents, and Flick reportedly believes Perisic’s leadership and winning mentality would help balance the dressing room. With 144 international caps for Croatia and a proven track record in Europe’s top leagues, Perisic could provide invaluable depth and competition in the Catalan side’s attack.
Described as a “born competitor,” Perisic is admired for his physical fitness and commitment to excellence. He’s still a key part of the Croatian national team despite his age, which only strengthens Flick’s belief in the Croatian’s potential impact at Barça.
