Manchester United are being linked with Ajax fullback Gregory van der Wiel.
Chelsea chief Frank Arnesen confirmed their interest in the Dutchman earlier this month.
However, Sport says Barcelona intend to offer €20 million for the youngster as they see him as a replacement for contract rebel Dani Alves.
It's claimed Barca are facing competition from United.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is considering Van der Wiel with Gary Neville set to announce his retirement.
