Barcelona are moving for Lyon youngster Houssem Aouar.
Barca have been scouting the midfielder this season and contact has now been made.
L'Equipe says the scouting reports delivered have been positive and Barca are now seriously drawing up plans to bring the prospect to Spain.
However, OL president Jean Michel Aulas is adamant Aouar is not for sale.
He said: "Houssem Aouar signed a long contract. He is in Lyon. He will not leave."
