De Roon is in his second spell with La Dea, having already played there in 2015-16, then returned from Middlesbrough for €13.5m a year later.
His contract is due to expire at the end of this season and Barcelona hope they can pick him up not only as a free agent, but also for quite low wages compared to the rest of the squad.
