Real Betis are in talks with Barcelona for Juan Miranda.
Betis are eager to sign the youngster, though Barca have referred them to his €3m buyout clause. The Catalans are reluctant to lose Miranda.
Betis want to sign Miranda for their B team - and have offered the prospect of a path to the first team.
Miranda has a year on his current Barca deal and has been assured he will be offered new terms.
The 18 year-old, however, will face a year in the Segunda B should he choose to stay with relegated Barca B next season.
