Barcelona are in talks to sign Flamengo fullback Wesley.
Globo Esporte says the Blaugrana are hoping to take the 19-year-old to Camp Nou this month.
Reports in Brazil claim that the two clubs are already in talks over a deal for the teenager, who has made four appearances for the Flamengo first team and has starred for Brazil's under-20 side.
Any potential transfer would see Barça pay a fee to take Wesley on loan for a year and have the option to sign the player permanently for a set price at the end of his loan spell. Flamengo own 70% of the defender's economic rights.
The Brazilian, who has a deal to 2025 with Fla, would train with both the Barcelona first and B teams for the remainder of the 2022/23 season and would initially play for the latter, with coach Xavi Hernández able to call upon him should he need cover at right-back.
