Valencia are keen to buy outright Barcelona striker Munir El Haddadi.
The young forward is on-loan at Los Che this season.
Sport says the problem is that they cannot afford the 12 million euros that the clubs agreed as a selling price.
They want to negotiate a discount to keep Munir at the club. Valencia's sporting director is a former Barcelona player, Jose Ramon Alexanco, and he wants to keep Munir.
Valencia want to meet with Barcelona to find a formula that keeps everyone happy, while hoping the player also wants to stay at Mestalla.
