Raphinha, 25 has been repeatedly linked with a move to Barcelona.
And that's perhaps why Sky Bet have made them favourites at 2/1 to bring him to the Nou Camp this summer.
However, it's complicated.
The Athletic claim there are serious doubts over the La Liga side's ability to finance a deal.
With debts of more than £1billion, the Catalan heavyweights have strict controls on spending and that's opened the door to other interest parties.
The report suggests that North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham are monitoring the situation with the winger firmly on their radar.
Both are looking to bolster their ranks ahead of next season's European campaigns with Arsenal available at 5/2, ahead of Spurs at 5/1.

Chelsea are also understood to hold an interest in Raphinha but are a distant 20/1 in the betting market.
In fact, both Liverpool (14/1) and Manchester United (16/1) are more likely to secure his services, according to Sky Bet.
Newcastle and West Ham are locked tother at 22/1, while Bayern Munich follow at 25s.
Leeds are sympathetic to Raphinha’s ambition but will not sanction a deal for less than their supposed £60-70million valuation.
The Brazil international has been a revelation since arriving at Elland Road from Rennes for £16m in October 2020.
He's netted 17 goals and provided 12 assists in 67 appearances.
