Having already secured Germany international Ilkay Gundogan's services on a free deal following the expiration of his contract at Manchester City, the Catalan giants appear to have made yet another breakthrough.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the LaLiga champions have struck an agreement to sign 18-year-old Athletico Paranaense forward Vitor Roque.
The forward has impressed since bursting on to the scene in Brazil's Serie A, having scored an impressive 22 goals and assisting a further eight strikes in 65 senior appearances.
It is claimed that Roque, as things stand, will join Barcelona in January, but his arrival date could potentially be brought forward should the club be able to sell players in time to register him for the start of the coming season.
The talented attacker has already made his debut for the Selecao's senior side, after finding the back of the net six times in 11 games for his country's U20 team.
