Barcelona have launched a bid for Celta Vigo striker Maxi Gomez.

The Uruguay international is seen at Barca as cover for No1 striker Luis Suarez.

Radio Galega says Barca have tabled a €25m offer for Maxi, whose contract carries a €50m buyout clause.

Celta are prepared to sell the striker this summer - but not for any price.

An offer closer to €40m would bring Celta to the table this summer.
