Remember the name: Rodrygo Silva de Goes. The 17-year-old is lighting up the Brazilian league with Santos, scoring five times in 18 appearances, catching the attention of one of football's juggernauts in the process.
The aforementioned Spanish newspaper has claimed that 'Los Cules' are following Rodrygo and will look to secure his signature soon to continue their theme of bringing in the best prospects that South America has to offer.
If true, the transfer could be seen to hit back at Real Madrid's purchase of Vinicius Junior, in which they spent €45million to nail down his future, despite the forward being only 16 at the time.
Times are changing and Barcelona don't want to miss out. Therefore, to sign Rodrygo the Catalan giants are reportedly prepared to meet his release clause of €50million. Although he would stay a Santos player for some time.
