Should Barca fail to get an offer for Suarez, they would have to fork out £12million to cancel his contract.
Ajax have already confirmed their interest in signing the 33-year-old as they look to bring the player back to Holland.
But a move to Turin has also been reported, where he could link up with old rival Cristiano Ronaldo.
It was reported over the weekend that Suarez has spoken to Juve chief Pavel Nedved to discuss a potential switch to Italy.
The Old Lady are desperate to replace Gonzalo Higuian, and they had been keen to strike a deal with Roma for Edin Dzeko.
But according to Gazzetta dello Sport, that deal has stalled, and Juve are now looking at signing Suarez instead.
They claim that the ex-Liverpool hitman is high on their list on targets, with Andrea Pirlo said to be a fan.
It has been stated that the Serie A champions have made contact with Suarez’s entourage.
And it has been suggested that the Bianconeri would be more than happy to meet the striker’s wage demands.
