Belgium football expert Kristof Terreur suggests that Barcelona may not have the money to sign Eden Hazard from Chelsea.
Big clubs are circling for Hazard, with Real Madrid also interested following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.
But Terreur suggests a move to Barcelona may not be possible, unless Hazard were to run down his Chelsea contract and leave on a free.
Terreur wrote on Twitter: "There have been contacts between Barcelona and Eden Hazard, but no negotiations - a very expensive operation that they can't afford at the moment.
"Real Madrid haven't made an offer either. Chelsea not willing to sell him.
"But it's early. Anything can still happen. Certainly with Real Madrid - a club where things change quickly - chasing a new superstar."
