The Camp Nou club wants to sign a contract with the Austrian to compete with left-back Jordi Alba, according to ESPN FC sources.
Alaba representatives offered the all-round defenseman at Barça a few weeks ago and the 27-year-old is now considered a prime target for the La Liga club.
At the moment, Alba is the only left-back of Ernesto Valverde's group. Alaba's experience and his ability to play various roles, including the back center, make him an interesting proposition.
"The player is interested in coming," said a source from Barça.
"It's a complicated operation, but not impossible."
Bayern should do good business for Alaba, who is still two years in the contract, despite the willingness of the player to make things happen.
The Catalan club is therefore considering other solutions, including Philipp Max from Augsburg and Junior Firpo from Real Betis.
Max has been followed for a year by Barcelona, but they could face competition from Borussia Dortmund.
Junior could be allowed to leave Betis for less than his 40 million euro release clause, but he is considered the third choice option by the Catalans.
