Catalans Dragons and Wigan Warriors are in discussions to play a Super League game at Barcelona’s Nou Camp next season.

The two clubs have agreed to the prospect and are negotiating with Barcelona to find a suitable weekend for all.

Barcelona chairman Joseph Maria Bartomeu invited Catalans to play at the Nou Camp after the club paraded the Challenge Cup at the stadium on Sunday.

Any switch of venue would have to be approved by the Rugby Football League but Sky Sports News understands the RFL are receptive to the idea.
