Marca says talks have broken down between Barcelona and Ajax for defender Nicolas Tagliafico to join the Catalan side.
The two clubs were unable to find an agreement for the deal to be finalised after Barcelona tried to manufacture a deal that would have seen a player going to Ajax in return.
Barcelona will have to look elsewhere if they are to bring in a new left-back ahead of the winter transfer window deadline on January 31.
Tagliafico is contracted until 2023, so Ajax are not under pressure to sell one of their key assets this month.
