Barcelona sporting director Mateu Alemany is set to fly to England this week for talks with Leeds about a possible deal for Brazillian forward Raphinha.
The Spanish side are on the lookout for a replacement for departing Frenchman Ousmane Dembele, and are aiming to hijack any interest from Liverpool.
According to SPORT, Alemany will make the journey to England this week to try and move talks forward with the transfer window starting to take shape across Europe.
Although Barcelona are hoping to get a deal done quickly for Raphinha, 25, the two teams are currently quite far apart in their valuations of the player.
