Barcelona are weighing up a cut-price swoop for Villarreal midfielder Dani Parejo.
Barca are seeking a defensive midfield addition after Sergi Busquets' departure for Inter Miami.
Jijantes says the Catalans have seen a swoop for Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic fall through.
Instead, Barca are now turning to veteran Parejo.
The Catalans would seek to ferry Parejo away from Villarreal for a knockdown fee.
