A seasoned winger has put contract negotiations with his current club on hold, eager to secure a move to Barcelona.
They will be looking to integrate youth and experience to ensure their momentum in La Liga continues. After securing a domestic treble under the management of Hansi Flick, the sporting director, Deco, is keen to take advantage of cheap signings to expand the squad.
One seasoned winger, who is out of contract at his club on June 30, has surfaced as a potential transfer target.
The seasoned winger has not negotiated a renewal with his team, and he believes the opportunity to move to Camp Nou is forefront in his mind, suggesting that having Flick’s support may be pivotal in proceeding with the move.
The winger in question could be Ivan Perišić, the 36-year-old Croatian star who had an excellent season at PSV Eindhoven, with 9 goals and 8 assists in 27 Eredivisie appearances in 2022-23.
As Santi Aouna described, Perišić is excited about the potential to join Barcelona and has already been in dialogue with Flick, with whom he shares a professional history.
It seems the fact that he stopped talks on a contract extension with PSV shows he is looking to end his career at a club like Barcelona.
With his adaptability and experience, Flick appreciates having Perišić as a reserve for the attacking frontline in case of last season’s injury issues.
Perišić would undoubtedly be a good fit at Barcelona, and the fact that he is on a free means he fits right into what Barcelona have as their strict limitations.
Spanish domestic clubs like Sevilla and Valencia have also expressed interest, although Perišić has a clear preference for a move to Barcelona, and that might aid Barcelona with a head start.
Deco will likely want to ramp up negotiations rather quickly to ensure they can secure an experienced veteran, however, before any interest elsewhere presents itself.
With the transfer window approaching, fans will just have to wait and see if this experienced winger becomes the next player to don the Blaugrana colours while bringing his pedigree to Catalonia.
