With Xavi Hernandez now at the helm, Barcelona are looking to strengthen in attacking areas, and Marca reports that three players have been identified as targets.
Due to their financial difficulties, Barca are going to look at loans in January, to give them the best chance of brining in quality without huge outlay.
Luuk de Jong's loan from Sevilla is likely to terminated in January, while Martin Braithwaite is recovering from injury and Sergio Aguero is out for at least three months with a heart issue.
Manchester City's Raheem Sterling has been widely linked with the Blaugrana in recent times, and he is the first name on show here.
The England international has not been pleased with his game time, having managed just 376 Premier League minutes of a possible 990 this term, and the feeling is that Xavi could offer him regular first-team football.
Next up is Manchester United's Edinson Cavani, who was also linked with Barcelona during the summer and is felt to be capable of filling the gaps up front for six months. His position has been marginalised by the return of Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer.
Finally, Timo Werner has struggled since his move from RB Leipzig to Chelsea, and Barcelona showed interest in the Germany international even before his move to London. The 25-year-old's lack of game time under Thomas Tuchel this term gives Barca hope they could get him on loan.
