Manchester United and Chelsea are expected to intensify their negotiations for Barcelona whizkid Gay Assulin after this weekend's final round of Liga games.
The 16 year-old Israeli has held talks with both Premiership giants in recent months and is seriously considering his options at Barca with the club's B team facing Third Division football next season.
Assulin plays as an attacking midfielder and is regarded at Barca as big a talent as their Spanish teenage striker Bojan Krkic.
