Barcelona’s negotiations with Nicolas Kuhn are “at an advanced stage”.

The 17-year-old RB Leipzig striker is being linked to Barcelona by Spanish journalist Gerard Romero, of RAC1. The young striker, who is only 1.66 metres tall, has a deal expiring next summer, and is expected to join the B Team.
