Barcelona remain keen to sign Uruguay's Luis Suarez despite his four-month ban for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini during a World Cup match.
The Liverpool striker, 27, cannot take part in any football-related activity until the end of October.
He is not allowed to train with his club or enter a football stadium.
Yet La Liga Barcelona, who already have Brazil playmaker Neymar and Argentina forward Lionel Messi, would consider signing Suarez for the right price.
Liverpool bought Suarez from Ajax for £25m in January 2011.
He missed the start of last season after being handed a 10-match ban for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in April 2013, but returned to score 31 Premier League goals as the Reds finished second in the table.
His performances also earned him the Professional Footballers' Association and Football Writers' player of the year awards.
Suarez was found guilty of biting Chiellini on the left shoulder during Tuesday's World Cup group match, which Uruguay won 1-0 to qualify for the last 16 in Brazil.
The forward has denied the allegations, claiming Chiellini bumped into him.
