Barcelona are swooping for Malaga prospect Kuki Zalazar.

Zalazar is the son of former Uruguay international José Zalazar. He was born in Uruguay, though qualifies for Spain and has been capped at youth level by La Roja.

Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea have also been in the hunt for the 18 year-old.

Ex-Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is a big fan and attempted to bring him to London last year.

Zalazar's contract carries a buyout clause of €6 million, which will double once if makes his first team debut. Barca are pushing to close a deal in the opening days of the summer market.
