Genoa goal-machine Piatek dreaming of Barca move but has been urged to develop at a smaller club

Genoa's Krzysztof Piatek is dreaming of a move to Barcelona, Goal understands, but the free-scoring Pole has been urged by those close to him to continue his development at a smaller club in the short term.

Piatek, 23, has been sounded out by Premier League side Leicester City, the Foxes keen on snapping up a player who has scored 13 goals in nine games this season – nine of them in eight Serie A appearances alone.

Camp Nou is the attacker's preferred destination, however, and Genoa are working hard to keep their star man focused amid all the transfer interest.
