PSV challenge Barcelona! Dutch giants offer two-year extension to Croatian winger to fight off La Liga champions as Hansi Flick eyes reunion with former Bayern Munich man

According to Mundo Deportivo, PSV have offered Perisic a two-year contract extension to keep him at the club amid interest from Barcelona. The Croatian winger is currently heading to be a free agent as his contract expires at the end of the month after helping PSV win the Eredivisie title in the 2024-25 season. The Dutch team are trying to quickly obtain his services as reports indicate a deal is almost finalised.

Hansi Flick is targeting Perisic as a cost-effective, experienced option to bolster the squad. While discussions for Liverpool's Luis Diaz on the opposite flank are still under progress, Flick, who oversaw Perisic at Bayern Munich, sees the Croatian as dependable cover for Lamine Yamal. With Barca navigating financial restrictions, Perisic's free agent status and low wage demands make him a feasible signing.

Perisic featured in 35 appearances for PSV across all competitions last season, recording 16 goals and 11 assists. Major titles in Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands abound in his experience; he wants to remain competitive ahead of the World Cup in 2026.

Perisic is expected to receive a formal approach from Barcelona, but no final decision has been made. PSV are waiting a response on their offer, while Barca sources suggest any move will depend on further discussions with Flick. As pre-season preparations begin, the winger's next team is probably going to be confirmed in the next weeks.
