Barcelona convinced they've uncovered 'new Messi'

Barcelona believe they have on their hands the next Lionel Messi.

Guido Vadala is 12 years of age and like Messi hails from Argentine town Rosario.

Vadala has already had trials with Barca and the Spanish giants are keen to secure him. But talks have stalled in the past week after Inter Milan and Juventus caught wind of the youngster's potential.

Barca have already offered Guido a place in their youth system - and also his father a job in Spain so the family can relocate, says Marca.

However, both Juve and Inter now have invited the Vadala family to Italy for trials later this month. For the moment, Barca must wait for the family's next move.
