Barcelona are stepping up their pursuit of Boca Juniors whiz Santiago Ramos Mingo.
Barca are enacting plans to bring the 17 year-old defender to Spain in January.
Spanish media sources say Mingo is in dispute with Boca over his first professional deal and could skip out on the club for Barca.
El Desmarque says Boca are refusing to give up on tying down Mingo, but know there's a risk of losing him before the end of the year.
Mingo has also been linked with Juventus, but Barca are favourites for his signing should he move.
