Manchester City midfielder Rodri may have a huge decision to make this summer on whether to join La Liga giants Real Madrid or Barcelona - should he decide to leave Etihad Stadium.
The 30-year-old is into the final year of his deal at City and is yet to sign fresh terms.
Real have held a long-term interest in signing the player, but sources at Barcelona said on Thursday that the club now had the player's approval to open negotiations with Manchester City.
Barcelona sources said there were no guarantees any deal would be made but that it was a key development.
Rodri said earlier this season his future would be sorted out after the tournament, but he is currently out of action after undergoing back surgery.
City sources have previously told BBC Sport they are "counting on" the player for next season, while a significant fee would need to be offered to even consider a sale.
