Barcelona have confirmed that Celtic have made an enquiry about Marc Crosas and know how much the midfielder will cost to sign permanently or to take on loan.
The Catalan giants are keen to see their youth team product gain more first team experience after spending last term on loan with Lyon and would prefer a temporary move.
Celtic could sign Crosas if they want to for around €3m, but Gordon Strachan is also reported to prefer the idea of borrowing the player to see how he settles in.
A Blaugrana spokesman told the Daily Record: "Celtic have talked to us about both a loan and permanent deal regarding Marc Crosas.
"They know what that will cost. Marc is to travel to America with the team so we don't think anything will happen until they return."
Crosas has gone to the United States on Barça's pre-season tour, but could fly home early if a deal is agreed with Hoops before next week.
Sevilla are also said to be monitoring the player's situation and could rival the Scottish giants, but the attraction of playing in the Champions League means Celtic are in the stronger position.
