Barcelona are in the process of making a move for one of Manchester City's most prized youngsters, according to Marca. Denis Suarez is largely considered by many fans of the Premier League club to be a star waiting to emerge and they would be gutted if he was suddenly snapped up and taken back to Spain. The claim is the lead online story of Marca today, who say that Barcelona want to offer Suarez a four year contract and see him as a player who can emerge for them over the next few years.
Suarez impressed for Spain at the U20 World Cup in Turkey and both Real Madrid and Barcelona have been working on bringing in young Spanish talents. Marca say that Barcelona have identified Suarez as a player who suits their style and will offer him a four year deal, the first season as a reserve player and three years as part of the first team squad.
It's quite some offer for the young Spaniard but there must be little chance Manchester City would entertain any idea of him moving. The Spanish newspaper claim Suarez only has one year left on his contract in England and therefore that gives hope to Barcelona as they look to take him away.
The 19 year old attacking midfielder joined Manchester City in 2011 from the Celta Vigo youth set-up, he's progressed well during that time and next season would probably be hoping to get a few first team appearances.
Whilst Manchester City should be able to hold on to the player, the interest of Barcelona could force his progression. Manchester United saw Paul Pogba leave the football club because he didn't think he was valued enough and Pellegrini won't want similar to happen with Suarez
