Reports from the Far East claim that the latest players on Chinese football's radar are Arda Turan and Dani Alves.
You would think that the chances of the pair leaving the Camp Nou, particularly at this stage of a season in which the Catalan giants are vying to repeat the treble, would be slim to non-existent, but the numbers doing the rounds mean that any approach would have to be considered at the very least.
Beijing Guoan are said to be willing to splash out 100 million euros to snap up Turan, who has only been playing for Barcelona for a month or so, and to reward him handsomely in terms of wages.
Meanwhile Alves, who only last summer signed a new contract with Barça running until 2017, is reported to have been offered a three year, 12 million euro a season deal from an as yet undisclosed club.
Although the transfer window has already closed in Europe, it remains open in China until 26th February, so there is still time for further eye-catching developments.
