Former Sporting CP star Carlos Padrao can see Jorge Jesus taking charge of Barcelona.

Padrao is close to the former Benfica coach, who is enjoying great success in Brazil with Flamengo.

He told Sport: "If Jorge Jesus wins the Copa Libertadores, he will sign for FC Barcelona, I am convinced of that.

"He loves challenges. He is a coach who advocates attacking play, who puts on a show and is always innovative.

"He will win the Copa Libertadores, for sure."
