Souchaux midfielder Amidou Doumbouya is attracting interest from Barcelona.
The 15 year-old has been watched regularly by Barca scouts, who have now recommended his signing ahead of the summer market.
Doumbouya will turn 16 on August 5, when he will be due to pen pro terms. He can play as a central midfielder and also at centre-half.
The teen's management team have been contacted by Barca, along with SC Freiburg.
For their part, Sochaux recognise they face losing Doumbouya over the summer transfer window.
