Roma’s efforts to sign Fluminense youngster Gerson could be given the green light tomorrow, with discussions set to be held with Barcelona.

The Giallorossi are looking to secure the signature of the highly rated Brazilian, but the move has been complicated by Barcelona’s first option agreement on the player.

La Stampa reports that Barcelona are not willing to match the €17m bid made by Roma to the Tricolor Carioca, with the two European powerhouses set to discuss the matter further after facing off in the Gamper Trophy tomorrow.

Roma will hope to persuade Barcelona to forego the €4m spent on a first option agreement for the 18-year-old and allow the starlet to move to Italy.

Former AC Milan man Ronaldinho’s arrival at the Maracana stadium has paved the way for Fluminense to sell their highly rated star, who has struggled for game time in recent weeks.
