Former Barca star Henrik Larsson, now playing for Swedish outfit Helsingborg, revealeed that he would be open for talks to join Barcelona on loan until the summer but insists he has not yet been contacted by his former club:

I had some fantastic years in Barcelona, but at the moment I have no bid to think about but you can never say never. If Barcelona are interested, I suppose, they first have to contact Helsingborg.

However, Helsingborg´s sports director Bosse Larsson explained that an offer could appeal to them financially, especially as the Swedish league season does not start until April:

We haven't received any offer yet, so we will see what happens in the coming days. They are in a different financial world to us, so it is obvious that it could be financially attractive for us.

FC Barcelona have been linked with a move for a new striker in January, due to the long term injuries of topstriker Samuel Eto'o and young wizzkid lionel Messi.
Barcelona sport director Txiqui Beguiristain did not give too many clues about the club´s intention but revealed that the Blaugrana club is looking at different options:

The coach and the club will study targets and after that, we will decide something.

These days, there are always two names mentioned as potential transfer targets: Newcastle United's Albert Luque and former Barca idol Hendrik Larsson.
