According to reports from the Spanish media AS NewspaperThe club is considering following an old pattern of signing experienced players on free transfers to strengthen its squad.
Croatian winger Ivan Perisic has emerged as a free option after his explosive exit from Hadjuk Split.
Perisic agreed an extension until the end of the 2024/25 season earlier this summer but has left the club following a high-profile disagreement with manager Gennaro Gattuso.
Flick has reportedly contacted his former Bayern player with a 12-month contract offer, which would provide cover for the coming months and allow for a renewed offer from Williams in 2025.
