Barcelona are aiming to raid Espanyol's academy for several youngsters this summer.

Sport says top of their shopping list is Espanyol B captain Ferran Jutglà, a 22 year-old winger. Off contract next month, Jutglà is in advanced talks with Barca and is expected to sign with the Blaugrana and be registered with the B team.

Espanyol U16 pair Carlos Alemán, a fullback, and attacking midfielder Miguel Carvalho are also under consideration.

Both youngsters are keen to make the move to Barca, with Aleman signing with agent Rodrigo Messi, Leo's brother, while Carvalho is now on the books of Jorge Mendes.
