Marseille to drop Ivan Perišić pursuit
Olympique de Marseille will not pursue a deal to sign Ivan Perišić (36), according to a report from L'Équipe. The Croatian had been one of three names on OM's shortlist to replace Luis Henrique, whose move to Inter Milan was made permanent earlier this month. As per L'Équipe, Perišić's financial demands have put off Marseille, who have turned towards other targets. The Croat's contract at PSV Eindhoven is up at the end of the season, but there are talks over a renewal. There is also interest from Barcelona. The former Tottenham Hotspur forward's preference is to join the Catalan club, Foot Mercato understands. Advertisement As a result, Marseille will turn to two other Eredivisie targets: Noa Lang (25) and Igor Paixao (24). Unlike Perišić, both would command fees. The former, a teammate of Perišić's at PSV, is available for €20m. The latter, who has four years remaining on his deal at Feyenoord, would be more expensive, given that he still has four years remaining on his deal. GFFN | Luke Entwistle

Hansi Flick recommends free agent attacker signing to Barcelona
Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick is eyeing a free agent addition to his attacking ranks this summer. That's according to Mundo Deportivo, citing German outlet BILD, who point towards Ivan Perišić as the player in question. Advertisement Veteran winger Perišić, for his part, is a player familiar to Barcelona boss Flick. The pair spent a season together in Germany at Bayern Munich, with the Croatian understood to have left a positive impression on his then-manager. Despite his advancing years – Perišić is now 36 – he enjoyed an altogether productive campaign on the books of Dutch heavyweights PSV Eindhoven this past season. All told, in 39 appearances across all competitions, the former Inter Milan man racked up 16 goals, and 11 assists. And such production, it is understood, has not gone unnoticed on the part of those at Barcelona… Advertisement As per MD, amid an ongoing search for reinforcements out wide for 2025/26: 'In Germany, the Bild newspaper is reporting that Hansi Flick would like to sign Ivan Perišić, who is now a free agent.' Any move for the Croatian international would not have an impact on Barca's pursuit of Liverpool star Luis Díaz. Conor Laird – GSFN
