Gerson- FluminenseSerie A side Roma are looking to sign Brazilian centre midfielder Gerson from Fluminese, who has already been the subject of interest from rivals Juventus.

Any deal for the teenager is also complicated by the fact that the 18-year-old has an agreement in principle with La Liga giants Barcelona that would see him make a move to the Camp Nou once their transfer ban is lifted.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the Giallorossi have made preparations to tempt the youngster to Italy and are ready to offer him €1.2 million per season.

The left-footer, who has been a regular starter with Fluminense since February, is considered one of the most promising young players currently in Brazil.

However, he was left out of Brazil’s Under-20 World Cup runners-up campaign this summer.
