Dimitar Berbatov is back on Barcelona's agenda and the Catalan club could make a move for the Bulgarian striker when the squad returns from the United States.
Coach Pep Guardiola wants to add another forward to his line-up even if Samuel Eto'o stays and sees the creativity that the former Bayer Leverkusen goalscorer would bring as an exciting prospect, according to El Mundo Deportivo.
Barça have been linked with several strikers this summer including Emmanuel Adebayor, Karim Benzema and Didier Drogba, but none of them are now likely to be moving.
Instead, Eto'o has returned to the squad and has impressed in pre-season despite being told that if he can agree a deal with a new side then he can go.
Guardiola has told his board that he wants more new faces and competition for the central striker would ensure that if Eto'o stays he will have to work hard to justify his place.
Tottenham have made no announcement about selling Bebatov, but is a public secret that if a club meets their asking price then negotiations would quickly follow.
In pre-season, the 27-year-old has given mixed displays where he has looked happy and settled in one game before appearing to be moody and distant in others.
Barcelona would be a preferred option for Tottenham to sell their star striker after a spat with Manchester United over contact with the player or his agents.
