Catalan sports paper Sport claims that Barcelona will next year do a pre-season tour in Asia.
The club thinks that after three years a tour is needed to consolidate the club's position in the growing Asian market.
Barcelona would have a fairly strong position in Japan, but would need to strenghten their market share in countries like China, Malaysia and Singapore, that are dominated by English Premier League clubs and especially Manchester United. Because of the 2010 World Expo, Barcelona certainly plans to play a game in Shanghai, the largest city in China.
