Barcelona coach Tata Martino is being linked with Malaga.
Bernd Schuster is set to be axed as Malaga coach next week and Martino is under consideration as a replacement.
The Argentine will be moving on from Barca at the end of the season and has been linked with a return home.
However, Cadena Ser says Malaga are in contact with Martino about staying in Spain next season, having attempted to appoint him ahead of Schuster last summer.
