Los Angeles FC striker Carlos Vela is a target for Barcelona.

Cadena SER says the former Real Sociedad forward is on the radar of Barca.

The striker spent six seasons with La Real before moving to Major League Soccer last year.

Barca coach Ernesto Valverde wouldn't comment on names the club are pursuing as they seek a Luis Suarez backup in his press conference on Wednesday.

Instead, he's focused on the Copa del Rey game against Levante.
