Demir, 18, has scored six goals in 31 games since being promoted to Rapid's first team in the summer of 2019 and had been a target for Manchester United and Bayern Munich, sources have told ESPN.
The Austria international made his senior team debut in a 2022 World Cup qualifier victory over the Faroe Islands in March.
Demir, who can play across the attack, is expected to start the season with Barca's B team.
Barca begin preseason training on Monday without the players that are on international duty and with the uncertainty of who will remain at the club.
