With a deal in place for Claudio Bravo, Manchester City remain in the hunt for Barcelona talent - off the pitch.
Cadena SER says City are keen on Barca's top medical chief, Dr Ricard Pruna.
City have made an offer to Pruna, who is tempted by the proposal, which has been driven by former Barca coach Pep Guardiola.
Pruna is reknowned in football not only for his surgeon's ability, but also a knack for injury prevention.
Barca goalkeeper Bravo, meanwhile, is set to join City in the next 24 hours.
