Liverpool target Jeffren is set for talks with Barcelona this week to decide his future, talkSPORT have reported.
The winger, who is also attracting interest from Aston Villa and Fulham, will hold talks due to the impending arrival of £32m signing Alexis Sanchez from Udinese.
It was originally thought Jeffren would join the Italian club as part of the Sanchez deal but the 23-year-old rejected the opportunity to move to Serie A.
And according to talkSPORT, the Barcelona trainee will, along with his father/agent Efren, meet with Barcelona's sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta to discuss what future he has at the Nou Camp.
Jeffren is highly-regarded at Barca but has so far failed to establish himself in the first-team. If the arrival of Sanchez is confirmed, it could spell the end of his career with the European champions.
Various reports have linked Liverpool with a move for some time but it is claimed Fulham are the only club who have lodged an official offer.
Valencia are also believed to be interested, particularly with Joaquin joining Malaga and the future of star man Juan Mata still undecided.
Efren revealed last month that his son would be rejecting the move to Italy but is interested in a move to the Premier League.
"Playing in Italy is not a good option for Jeffren," he said. "He has more attractive offers from Spain and England."
Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is looking to build a squad capable of challenging for silverware and £7m-rated Jeffren fits the profile for the type of player he is looking to recruit.
