Valencia are preparing to sell Jeremy Mathieu to Barcelona.
While Los Che chiefs have so far referred Barca enquiries to the Frenchman's buyout clause, they've also allowed him to skip training in a sure sign he's packing his bags for the Nou Camp.
Super Deportes says Mathieu missed Sunday's training session, despite being fully fit.
Mathieu agreed personal terms with Barca last week and the Catalans hope to do business with Valencia for less than €20 million in the coming days.
