Barcelona are reportedly prepared to let go of Luis Suarez this summer as the Spanish club aims to raise funds amid the lack of match-day income and television money caused by the coronavirus outbreak.
La Liga remains suspended at the moment - though matches are set to resume behind closed doors - and even clubs the size of Barcelona have seen their finances stretched by the pandemic.
The Catalan club have been exploring new ways of generating income and selling players could be one of the tactics used.
Spanish newspaper Marca report that Suarez could be a prime candidate to be offloaded this summer, with many MLS clubs interested in signing the Uruguayan.
Inter Miami president David Beckham has previously spoken of his desire to bring the former Liverpool striker to America, while Suarez himself has admitted that he may move to the MLS one day.
The 33-year-old said some months ago: "You never know. I have a contract at Barcelona but, in the future, it's an attractive league. The United States is a nice option."
However, the report adds that Suarez is still seen as an important player by coaches at Camp Nou and Saurez still has at least one year remaining on his Barcelona contract.
There is an option to extend his deal for a further year beyond 2021 if Suarez plays 60 per cent of Barcelona's games next season.
The Uruguay international has scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists this season, though he has only made 23 appearances in all competitions due to calf and knee injuries.
Barcelona officials are also aware that Suarez has a close bond with superstar teammate Lionel Messi and there are few clubs who will be able to afford his wages.
However, MLS officials would leap at the chance to bring another marquee signing to the league after other striking greats Thierry Henry, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and David Villa all had spells in America.
