Villarreal striker Nilmar is being tracked by Barcelona.
AS says Barca sports chief Andoni Zubizarreta has the Brazil international on his summer shopping list.
Barca's prime target is Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas, but if a deal cannot be done, they will turn to strengthening coach Pep Guardiola's attack.
Nilmar is a player Guardiola feels would fit smoothly into his playing system.
The prolific forward has declared he's keen to move to a bigger stage next season.
