Marcus Rashford's representatives met with Barcelona executives in Lisbon on Tuesday ahead of the Catalan club's game with Benfica.
As revealed by Sky Sports News last week, Barcelona is Rashford's preferred destination if he is to leave Manchester United in this transfer window.
Barcelona would have to create sufficient salary space through outgoings in order to accommodate the England international at the Nou Camp. The potential departures of Ansu Fati and Eric Garcia would help.
Barcelona's sporting director Deco said: "We are dealing with the issue of [financial] fair-play. In the final days, if the team can be strengthened, we will try, but as of today there is nothing.
"The priority is the renewals of the important players in the squad, and then we could focus on one or two reinforcements, but it is not something that the coach has asked of us either."
