Barcelona have reportedly identified Ernesto Valverde as a possible replacement for current coach Luis Enrique.
Enrique is undecided as to whether he will continue his role at Camp Nou past the end of this season, and it has allegedly resulted in the Catalan giants considering potential candidates to replace the 46-year-old.
According to Marca, one of the names under consideration is Athletic Bilbao boss Valverde, who is said to satisfy many of the requirements for the leading role in the dugout at Barcelona.
The 52-year-old has been with Bilbao since 2013, winning 89 of his 187 matches in charge as well as defeating Barcelona in the Supercopa de Espana in 2015.
His contract at San Mames Stadium expires at the end of the current campaign, but Barca are prepared to wait on Enrique given his success since 2014.
