Barcelona and Juventus are reportedly pondering a summer move for Germany striker Miroslav Klose.
The Werder Bremen hitman will be the biggest danger to Barca's hopes of retaining the Champions League next Tuesday when the two teams meet in a crucial group game.
But according to German daily Bild Klose - winner of the Golden Boot at the World Cup finals - could be playing for Frank Rijkaard's team next term.
Klose is a player who always has appeared in the lists of Barca targets, although the last serious contact took place three years ago when he was at Kaiserslautern.
Juventus - despite currently playing in Italian Serie B, have also been credited with an interest into Klose as a replacement for David Trezeguet who has turned down an offer of a new contract.
I would like to decide my future as soon as possible so I can focus only on football," Klose told Bild.
"We have to see if Werder will meet my requests," added the international, who has made no secret of his desire to appear in a foreign League.
However, Bremen are desperate to keep their star man.
"Klose has not yet told us what his plans are. Our will is that of keeping him here, but obviously he has various requests - everything is possible," declared Werder's director general Klaus Allofs.
