Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has branded Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke "spectacular".
The Spanish international is widely regarded as one of the best young midfielders in European football, with his form last season helping Atletico win La Liga and reach the Champions League final.
Bartomeu has hinted that the Catalan outfit want to sign the 22-year-old, but admitted that a transfer is unlikely due to Atletico's reluctance to sell.
"He's spectacular. Any team would want him, but Atletico will not sell because they want to maintain their level," he told Onda Cero.
Koke is currently with the Spain squad ahead of the World Cup.
