Barcelona have agreed to make a 15m one-off payment to Atletico Madrid.
AS says the money has changed hands in order to give Barca first refusal on five young players.
However, it's suggested the real reason for the payment is to settle their dispute with Atletico over the fee for Antoine Griezmann.
While the 120m paid has been cleared by authorities, Atletico have threatened to make public emails which show Griezmann was in talks with Barca before his buyout clause was due to fall from it's original 200m price.
It's claimed the 15m has been paid as part of an agreement that Atletico won't go public with the email evidence.
Barca sources, however, have denied the claims to Mundo Deportivo.
