Juventus are launching a bid for Fluminense midfielder Gerson.

Tuttosport says Juve are making the 18 year-old a priority transfer target.

The Bianconeri hope to talk down Flu's €20 million valuation in the coming days.

Barcelona hold first refusal on Gerson, but Juve can still outbid the European champs for the midfielder.

Gerson is captain of the Brazil Under-20 squad and was captain of the Under-17 side.
