Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman is taking a close look at young prospect Nico Gonzalez.
The 19 year-old was recently promoted to Barca B and has shone under coach Javi García Pimienta as he fills the void left Ilaix Moriba.
Mundo Deportivo says Koeman has been impressed and been watching Gonzalez's progress since preseason. That the youngster is now proving himself at Segunda B level has only confirmed what Koeman thinks of him.
Interestingly, Gonzalez's current deal expires in June and there's been little movement over new terms due to the presidential election.
The midfielder's contract, unlike many of his teammates, does not contain any renewal options.
