Barcelona reportedly opt against making an official approach for Real Betis striker Loren Moron before the end of January.
With Luis Suarez sidelined until May with a knee injury, the Catalan giants are becoming increasingly desperate in their search for a short-term replacement.
Having seemingly missed out on Valencia's Rodrigo Moreno, Moron has been linked with a switch to Camp Nou after previously working with head coach Quique Setien.
However, ESPN journalist Moises Llorens claims that the two clubs have made little progress in talks over a potential deal.
The 26-year-old has enjoyed an excellent campaign with Betis, contributing eight goals and two assists from his 20 outings in La Liga.
