Barcelona have reportedly set their sights on securing a deal for Real Madrid youngster Cesar Gelabert.

Despite being highly regarded in the youth setup at the Bernabeu, Gelabert is yet to make his first-team bow for Los Blancos.

With the 19-year-old's contract due to expire in 2021, a number of top European clubs are monitoring the situation ahead of a potential bid for the playmaker.

According to AS, Barcelona are looking to win the race for the prospect, who rejected a switch to Camp Nou earlier in his career.

Aware that Real are no closer to agreeing fresh terms with Gelabert, it is suggested that the Catalan giants are planning to make an offer.

Manchester United, Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund and Lyon are also said to be keen on the 'B' team representative.
