Barcelona are in talks with the agents of Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata.
The Daily Mail says a meeting took place between the club and the Spaniard's representatives.
But the club are yet to decide if they will firm up their initial interest at the end of the campaign.
Mata is said to be happy in Manchester and is not pushing for a return to his homeland.
The midfield ace joined the club from Chelsea two years ago for a then-club record £37m.
