Barcelona leading race to sign Andre Gomes

Barcelona are in pole position to sign Valencia star Andre Gomes, according to Sport.

The Portugal international has really been making a name for himself over the past few seasons, and this summer has been linked to a number of clubs including Manchester United and Chelsea.

However, it appears as though the Premier League sides have pulled out of the running, meaning that a move to the Spanish champions is looking like the 22-year-old's most likely destination.

Valencia are preparing for the midfielders departure and are reportedly lining up Manchester United's Juan Mata as his replacement.
