Manager Mark Hughes, a former Barcelona striker himself, met the 23-year-old at Cheshire hotel Rookery Hall for an informal chat and the Spaniard arrived at Stoke on Friday after getting the go ahead from Barcelona to join.
And chairman Peter Coates insisted that the move was close as the club looks to expand it's attacking options.
'Mark has met with the player and we’re quietly confident of getting it all completed soon,' said Coates.
'Attacking players have been very much the focus for Mark since the end of last season and obviously Bojan would be another very good addition.'
Stoke want a loan with view to a permanent deal for the player who spent last season on loan at Ajax.
