The club, which is also closing in on a deal for Bayern Munich’s Arturo Vidal, need replacements for Andres Iniesta and Paulinho, who have both departed over the summer.
And SPORT claim youngsters Rabiot and De Jong fit Barca’s plan.
PSG midfielder Rabiot has been linked with a move away from the Parc des Princes for some time.
He has attracted plenty of suitors over the years but the 23-year-old has remained faithful to PSG since joining them as a youth in 2010.
As for De Jong, Ajax are championing him as the next big thing in Dutch football and recently signed Manchester United’s Daley Blind, seemingly as a replacement for the midfielder.

De Jong has spoken openly about Barcelona’s interest in him, without ever confirming he wants to leave Ajax.
But a £44.1m bid would be enough for the Amsterdam club to sell up.
As for United, they are looking to secure at least one more transfer this summer.
They have already spent £70m on Diogo Dalot and Fred, while veteran goalkeeper Lee Grant has arrived on a free transfer.
