Barcelona reportedly believe that they will be able to complete a deal for Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum before the end of the summer transfer window.
The 29-year-old has less than 12 months remaining on his contract, despite him playing a key role in Liverpool's recent Champions League and Premier League successes
Given the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic, the Merseyside giants have been left to contemplate whether they are willing to risk losing the Netherlands international on a free transfer next summer
According to Goal, this has led to Barcelona gaining confidence in their efforts to tempt him into a switch to Camp Nou over the coming weeks.
With Liverpool interested in Bayern Munich's Thiago Alcantara, the Catalan giants feel that Jurgen Klopp will give the green light to parting ways with Wiljnaldum.
However, given their own financial situation, Barcelona are unlikely to be willing to pay over the odds for the player.
