Barcelona are hoping they can land Sergio Aguero and David Alaba on free transfers this summer after their contracts expire at Manchester City and Bayern Munich respectively.
Aguero is expected to depart the Etihad Stadium after 10 years which have seen him become the club's all-time top goal scorer with 256 goals and lift four Premier League titles in a glittering career.
However, injuries have since caught up with the 32-year-old and he has now gone a full year without scoring a Premier League goal at the Etihad.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barca see the striker as the ideal No 9 replacement for Luis Suarez, who departed for Atletico Madrid in the summer, in providing a big name signing for supporters.
