Barcelona frustrated as Juventus hold option on Boca Juniors duo

Barcelona face being beaten by Juventus for two Boca Juniors youngsters.

Sport says Barca scouts have delivered glowing reports on Facundo Colidio and Manuel Roffo.

However, it's emerged Juve hold a €5m option on Colidio, while goalkeeper Roffo is also on their shopping list.

Barca scouts have urged directors to take both youngsters to Europe, but Juve's relationship with Boca has them in the boxseat.

Roffo could be tempted to Spain, but should Barca make a firm approach Juve will be alerted by Boca courtesy of their close ties.
