Barcelona have reportedly been in touch with Corinthians to discuss a move for 18-year-old Brazilian whizzkid Gabriel Moscardo.
A move for Moscardo has been rumored for a little while now, but it seems Barca are stepping up their interest and hoping to beat Chelsea to his signing.
Diario Sport are reporting that Deco “has a crush” on Moscardo and has been talking to Corinthians to make the club’s interest official.
Barca want to sign Moscardo at the end of the season and see him as a long-term option at pivot following Sergio Busquets’s departure last summer.
