Barcelona are interested in River Plate sensation Lucas Ocampos.

Radio Continental says Barca have made contact with the winger's representatives for the first time about a move to Spain.

Ocampos, 17, has been likened to Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo and attracted enquiries from Manchester United, Chelsea and Bayern Munich this season.

The stumbling block for Barca is that they'll enter the summer market with a limited transfer budget.
