Honestly, there’s always a chance Perisic ends up sticking with PSV. Sometimes these big transfer rumors are just people getting hyped up because of contract stuff. He actually agreed to a new deal with PSV not long ago, and he seemed pretty happy there after a crazy good season. I think the only reason he’s looking at Barcelona so seriously is because Flick really wants him and it’s like a last chance to play at another super top club before retirement.

If Barca messes around and doesn’t make an official offer soon, I could totally see Perisic being like, "You know what, forget it, I’m staying at PSV—I like it here." Footballers change their minds fast, especially if they still feel valued and the team’s good. Plus, why not stick around if you’re banging in goals and everyone loves you? But right now, I bet he’s just waiting to see if Barcelona is really serious or if it’s just more transfer gossip. Either way, it’d be kinda epic to see him finish up strong in the Netherlands or have one last run in Spain. I’m just here for the drama honestly.
