FC Barcelona has its sights set on signing Serbian forward Nikola Kalinic, according to the Spanish website Encestando.

The Catalans are expected to part ways with Victor Claver and Adam Hanga, therefore they will need to sign a player to cover the gap in the forward position.

Kalinic, who spent the previous season with Valencia, has the same agent with Claver (Arturo Ortega), which makes things easier, given the offer Valencia has made to Claver.

At the moment, there is no deal between FC Barcelona and Kalinic, however the talks are ongoing and an update is expected soon.

FC Barcelona has already signed center Sertac Sanli, while they are close to a deal with former Real Madrid guard Nicolas Laprovittola.
