Barcelona have made a move this week for Bayern Munich midfielder Toni Kroos. Kroos' camp have held extensive talks with Real Madrid and Chelsea during the World Cup, but negotiations have stalled this week.
The midfielder, off contract in 2015, is concerned about moving to Real and competing for a place in an already crowded midfield.
Meanwhile, Kicker says Barca have made contact with Kroos' representatives to register their interest.
For the moment, the Germany international is yet to respond to Barca's enquiry.
