Barcelona battling to strike deal for Red Star Belgrade defender Mihailo Milutinovic

Barcelona are locked in talks with Red Star Belgrade for defender Mihailo Milutinovic.

Milutinovic, 15, is rated Serbia's best young defensive talent to emerge since Manchester United centre-half Nemanja Vidic.

Barca want to add the youngster to their academy this summer, but Red Star are reluctant to sell.

Red Star youth coach Ivica Momcilovic said: "Mihailo plays for Red Star and Serbia youth, and it would not surprise me that Barcelona is interested. However, I cannot worry about whether or not the club is going to sell him."
