Barcelona make approach for Las Palmas defender Mauricio Lemos

Las Palmas defender Mauricio Lemos is on Luis Enrique's radar and Barcelona have already made an offer for the player.

The 20-year-old Uruguayan has impressed during his the 2015/16 season and is on the radar of several European clubs.

However the bid from the Catalan club of €4 million has been rejected by the Canary club according to 'Canarias7'.

Los Amarillos signed the central defender just a few weeks ago to a contract stretching to 2021.

Indeed, with a buy-out clause that reportedly stands at €30m he seems set to stay in the Canary Islands for now.

After Lemos spent a successful loan spell at Estadio Gran Canaria from Rubin Kazan, Las Palmas decided to use their option to sing the player for €2m.
