Barcelona are set to make a formal bid this week for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez.
The Daily Mail says club intermediaries believe they already have an accord in principle with the player and his representatives but Barca must now match Liverpool's £80m valuation.
Real Madrid maintain an interest in Suarez but they have opened preliminary talks with Monaco over a deal for Radamel Falcao.
Suarez's biting controversy has not deterred new Barcelona boss Luis Enrique, with the Catalan giants ready to tempt Liverpool with a big-money offer.
