1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 11 According to the World Sports Report, Perisic may become another option for Barcelona’s summer transfer market. In addition to paying 25 million euros to terminate the contract, signing Espanyol goalkeeper Garcia as the first signing of the 2025-26 season, Barcelona may also introduce the experienced Croatian winger. In the 2024-25 season, Perisic helped Eindhoven win the Eredivisie. He made 35 appearances in various competitions, scored 16 goals and contributed 11 assists. Perisic will join as a free agent and his salary will not be a barrier as he hopes to continue to compete at the highest level and participate in the 2026 World Cup at its best.
Last Saturday, Biography reported that Frick was considering signing Perisic, and Daily Sports also confirmed this information from sources close to German coaches, pointing out that the player himself is also willing to join Barcelona. A few days ago, Deco mentioned in an interview that the team will have two to four new players joining.
In addition to Garcia in the goalkeeper position, left winger Luis–Dias is their priority, and Grimaldo is also the choice for the left back (if Martin eventually leaves), and Perisic may be the fourth new player. In Frick’s case, introducing Perisic, who worked with him at Bayern and won the Champions League in 2020, can increase the competitiveness of the team’s roster.
Especially considering that Frick won three championship trophys in his first season in coaching Barcelona, their main goal next season will be the Champions League. Although he is 36 years old, Perisic is known for his extremely high professional qualities. Not only does he pay great attention to his physical condition, he is also an important figure in the locker room, which makes him still an indispensable member of the national team. So far, Perisic has played 144 times for the Croatian national team and scored 36 goals.
Another characteristic of Frick attaches great importance to Perisic is hisPerisic can play a role in both the left winger, right winger or center position, and in addition, he can also serve as two full-backs if necessary. Frick trusts Perisic completely and believes that Barcelona should seize this market opportunity.
Frick likes to combine experience and vitality, just like he did before that team brought Szczesny. This strategy has been successful, and now he hopes to replicate the model by introducing Perisic.
