Barcelona are reportedly interested in signing Spain trio Nico Williams, Dani Olmo and Mikel Merino during this summer's transfer window.
All three played big parts in Spain winning Euro 2024, with Williams netting twice and registering one assist in six appearances at the competition, while Olmo came up with three goals and two assists in six outings.
Merino, meanwhile, featured in all seven of his country's matches in Germany, and he scored the winner against Germany in the quarter-finals of the tournament.
According to journalist Adrian Sanchez, Barcelona's priority this summer is to secure Williams's signature, with the Athletic Bilbao forward viewed as the club's leading target.
Olmo is also being heavily linked with a switch to Camp Nou, and Sanchez has said that the RB Leipzig attacker is a target, but second priority behind Williams is Real Sociedad's Merino.

Williams, Merino, Olmo 'all wanted' at Barcelona
Williams has a €58m (£48m) release clause in his Athletic contract, and it is believed that the 22-year-old wants to move to Barcelona despite interest from the Premier League.
The forward scored eight goals and registered 19 assists in 37 appearances for Athletic last season, but he is now seemingly set to leave San Mames ahead of the new campaign.
As for Olmo, the €60m (£50.6m) release clause in his Leipzig contract officially expired last week, but it is understood that he will still be allowed to leave for that amount this summer.
Premier League clubs are also said to be tracking the 26-year-old, who benefitted from an injury to Pedri to star for Spain in the knockout round of this summer's European Championship.
Olmo is allegedly third on the list of priorities for Barcelona, but he is wanted by the Catalan giants.

How much would Merino cost this summer?
Merino's release clause in his Real Sociedad contract is believed to be €60m (£50.6m), with Arsenal and Aston Villa among the clubs being linked with his services.
The 28-year-old is out of contract next summer, though, so it is likely that he will be allowed to leave for less than the buy-out fee in his deal.
Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick is believed to be a huge admirer of Merino, who has scored 27 goals and registered 30 assists in 242 appearances for Real Sociedad in all competitions.
The Spaniard was in impressive form for his Basque club last term, scoring eight goals and registering five assists in 45 appearances in all competitions.
