Barcelona are planning a cash-plus-player swap offer for Udinese star Alexis Sanchez.
Barca leapt to the front of the race by offering a substantial 30m cash component plus the loan of young striker Bojan Krkic.
The Spain international does not turn 21 until August and is already considered one of the key figures in Barcelona's future.
He hasn't had much playing time regularly and is set to be loaned out to gain experience elsewhere.
