Barcelona's coach, Hansi Flick, has recommended Perisic to the club's chief, Deco. This recommendation comes from their previous working relationship at Bayern Munich. Perisic's experience and skills make him an attractive choice for the team.

The club's interest in Perisic comes after they faced challenges in negotiating with Liverpool for the transfer of Luis Diaz. Despite these difficulties, Barcelona is now considering Perisic as a potential signing.

Perisic's current contract with PSV Eindhoven is set to expire at the end of the month, making him a free agent. This situation may provide Barcelona with an opportunity to sign him.
