Barcelona are exploring the prospect of signing Palmeiras striker Gabriel Jesus.

The 19 year-old has emerged as Brazil's brightest young talent this season and is a top target for Bayern Munich.

However, Sport says Barca are also keen and have begun making enquiries about Gabriel's situation.

Juventus have tabled a bid of €20 million for the striker, but Palmeiras rate him at twice that figure.

Barca and Bayern, meanwhile, have the advantage in being listed in Gabriel's current contract. A clause in his deal states Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and PSG can sign him for €24 million.

For all other teams, including Juve, they must pay €40 million to sign the forward.
