Now, in a surprise development, BILD (h/t Mundo Deportivo) reports that Ivan Perisic has emerged as a target for Barcelona, with Hansi Flick pushing for his arrival.

One of the players who enjoyed a breakthrough campaign at FC Barcelona in 2024/25 under Hansi Flick was left-back Gerard Martin. Signed from UD Cornella in 2023, the left-back had spent his debut season at the club with Barça Atletic before Flick arrived and turned his future around. Indeed, the German tactician bet on Martin for the US pre-season tour and the left-back remained a part of the senior setup ever since, even signing a first-team contract back in January, which runs until 2028.

FC Barcelona will announce their first signing of the summer this coming week: Joan Garcia. The Catalans will sign him by activating his €25 million release clause, with a contract agreement already agreed. Once his signing is confirmed, Barcelona will shift focus to resolving captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s future. With Wojciech Szczesny set to renew, the La Liga champions are unwilling and financially unable to retain three high-profile goalkeepers.
