Silva, 31, is available as a free agent after announcing he will leave Manchester City after nine years at the Etihad Stadium when his contract expires in June.
The Portugal international has drawn interest from a host of clubs, including Atlético Madrid, Benfica and teams in Saudi Arabia and the MLS.
He has yet to comment on his next move, but sources at Barça have confirmed his signing is "possible" and a "real option."
Barça have already completed a deal taking Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United for an initial fee of €70 million ($81m), with the England winger set to be officially presented on Friday.
ESPN have also revealed that, following the arrival of Gordon, the club have stepped up their interest in Atlético Madrid forward Julián Álvarez.
