Barcelona are interested in Roma striker Antonio Sanabria.

The former Barca junior has just come off a superb season on-loan with Sporting Gijon.

Sport says Barca coach Luis Enrique is a fan of Sanabria and sees him as cover for the MSN - Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar.

Barca have been in contact with Sanabria's minders for over a month.

Robert Fernandez, Barca's sporting director, was in touch with Sanabria's reps in May to inform them he was on their shortlist.
