Striker Robert Lewandowski has openly voiced his desire to bring in a winger to create chances but Barcelona are working to a tight budget following the arrival of Olmo.
As per reports from Spanish outlet Diario AS, the club are considering following an old pattern of signing experienced players on free transfers, to bolster their squad.
Croatian winger Ivan Perisic has emerged as a free option following his explosive departure from Hadjuk Split.
Perisic agreed an extension until the end of the 2024/25 season earlier this summer, but after a high-profile disagreement with manager Gennaro Gattuso, he has left the club.
Flick has reportedly reached out to his former Bayern player, with a 12 month contract offer, which would offer cover for the months ahead and allow for a renewed Williams bid in 2025
