Roma sporting director Monchi has confirmed that La Liga giants Barcelona have expressed interest in talented young Turkish winger Cengiz Ünder, a player who only arrived in Italy last summer but who is already making a name for himself.
Monchi has been made aware of the interest by Turkish agent Bayram Tutumlu, but clarified that Barça or any other club are yet to make a 'big offer' for Ünder.
Given the 20-year-old's progress since arriving from Turkish upstarts Istanbul Basaksehir in 2017, the Roma official added that he isn't surprised clubs are interested.
"Bayram Tutumlu, who has a good relationship with Barcelona, told me that they have asked for the boy," Monchi is quoted as saying by Sport.
