Stoke City face competition from Deportivo La Coruna for Barcelona striker Bojan Krkic.
Krkic was in England on the weekend for talks with Stoke boss Mark Hughes after deciding to move on from Barca.
However, new Depor coach Victor Fernandez has also confirmed his interest.
"I spoke with Bojan because I have a good personal relationship with him. Bojan is not my player and I do not like to talk about players who are not mine, but I love him and he fits perfectly into the profile we seek," said Victor.
"Here he'll find the right space to achieve his final explosion as a player."
