Barcelona are eyeing Real Betis midfielder Giovani Los Celso.
The Argentine has shone this season on-loan from PSG, with Betis having the option to sign him permanently in June.
El Confidencial says Barca are happy for Betis to buy Los Celso before stepping in to take him off their hands later in the summer market.
A swap has been mentioned with Juan Miranda mentioned as a potential makeweight in the deal.
Smoothing negotiations will be the clubs' relationship as they came together last month to sign Emerson from Atletico Mineiro. The young fullback is currently playing for Betis, though will eventually move to Barca should he impress.
