Bryan Gil's brilliance for Spain during the international break has awakened Barca's interest in the player, per Sports Witness.
The left-footed midfielder/forward was loaned by Sevilla to Eibar for €9m and has seen his market value rise rapidly this season. Sevilla now plan to renew his contract.
However, Barca intends to sign the player before he puts pen to paper for Sevilla.
Gil's buyout clause is set around €50m and it is believed that the Blaugrana will move for the player this year, regardless.
Sevilla intends to hike his buyout clause to €100m after extending his current deal to 2025.
Gil has scored 3 goals in 21 La Liga games for Eibar this season.

There is nothing 'done or advanced' in the bid to sign Haaland yet as many clubs are involved in the race to get his signature.
However, Barcelona 'are in', Romano adds - presumably, that means that the club are very interested in signing the Dortmund forward and will do what they can to get him.
