The source suggests that Bayern Munich will also make a move for the experienced Serbian this summer.
His stand-out performance in Spain is expected to attract interest from a number of Europe's biggest clubs.
After the match, he became just the ninth player in history to receive a 10/10 rating from French newspaper L'Equipe.

He said: "This is probably the best game of football I've ever played.
"We beat the best club in the world. I'm very proud and I think we made a lot of people happy tonight."
