Catalan daily newspaper Sport claims that Barcelona are on the verge of signing Brazilian forward Luan Guilherme de Jesus Vieira from Gremio.
The Catalans have turned their attention to the 23-year-old as they are desperate to add another attacker to their ranks before the new season starts.
After watching the talented footballer in action at the Summer Olympics, Barcelona sporting director Robert Fernandez met with the player’s representatives in an attempt to agree a deal.
The striker himself has told his officials that he prefers a move to Camp Nou despite interest from the Premier League, Serie A and Bundesliga.
Luan has so far scored 31 goals in 117 league outings for Gremio, while coming on a second half substitute for Brazil in both 2016 Summer Games fixtures.
However, with both Gabigol and Gabriel Jesus having failed to find the net against South Africa and Iraq, Luan could start the decisive match against Denmark.
