FC Groningen executive director Hans Nijland has confirmed Barcelona are interested in signing 18-year-old midfielder Ludovit Reis.
Nijland told Fox Sports (h/t EFE, via Marca) the clubs have twice held talks about the teenager, most recently after Barca's director of youth football Jose Mari Bakero led a delegation to the Netherlands.
He also said "we're seriously considering the possibility that he leaves for Barcelona next season" and added that Groningen would pursue as high a fee as possible amid rumours he could cost €6 million.
The youngster has been a regular for the Dutch club this season, making 24 starts from 27 Eredivisie appearances.
