Barcelona have yet to make a move for Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, according to the player's father.
The 20-year-old is impressing while on loan at Atletico Madrid this season and has caught the eye of Barca, who are on the look out for Victor Valdes' long-term replacement.
Valdes has revealed he will not be signing a new contract and Barca see Courtois as the ideal candidate to take the number one jersey for years to come.
However, Barca have yet to make an approach to Chelsea and the Blues are unlikely to cash in anyway as they also recognise his potential and he could one day replace Petr Cech.
"At this moment there is no contract with Barcelona," Courtois's father told La Derniere Heure.
"A few days ago Thibaut had contact with the goalkeeper coach of Chelsea, who will soon report on his progress at Atletico. When this is done, we will work with Chelsea to talk about his future."
