Barcelona are competing with Manchester United for Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke.
Marca says Barca are launching a bid for the Spain international.
New Barcelona boss Luis Enrique is a huge admirer of the midfield maestro - who has often been compared to Xavi.
Further reports in Spain state that the Old Trafford outfit are ready to meet his £48million release clause, as the deposed Premier League champions look to qualify for Europe next season under new boss Louis van Gaal.
