Barcelona are chasing Roma prospect Abdullahi Nura.
The young Nigerian joined Roma at the same time as striking sensation Umar Sadiq.
Il Messaggero says Barca have approached Roma about opening talks over a deal for Nura.
However, Roma chief Walter Sabatini is refusing to do business, convinced Nura can make his first team breakthrough next season.
Barca are willing to pay €5 million to ferry the fullback to Spain.
