Diario Sport report that Barcelona have scouted Fluminense left-back Esquerdinha (full name João Henrique Mendes da Silva) for several years now and could go for him this summer.
The 18-year-old has impressed with the U20 team and is considered a standout talent in Brazilian football. He's made one appearance for Fluminense's senior team so far.
The Catalans would be able to register him as a Barca Athletic player should he join so they won't have to spend their salary cap on him.
The Brazilian is a left-back but he can play on the right-hand side as well. He has a €70m release clause in his contract but is expected to cost less.
