The next Neymar? Barcelona take 17-year-old Brazilian playmaker on trial after recommendation from sporting director Deco as La Liga giants look to unearth another South American gem

LaLiga

Barcelona

Real Madrid

<p>Barcelona's quest to unearth the next teenage sensation from the South American soil continues with 17-year-old Joao Vitor Roraima, who has been taken on trial by the club following a recommendation from sporting director Deco. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The report comes from <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/perla-brasilena-prueba-masia-117070873" target="_blank"><em>SPORT</em></a><em>, </em>who state that Roraima's performances at the Sao Paulo Juniors Cup are believed to have caught Barcelona’s attention, in particular Deco, who personally rallied for the player to be taken on trial. The promising playmaker currently plays for Ibrachina, a lesser-known club based in East Sao Paulo. Ibrachina celebrated the move on social media, calling it proof of the club’s growing stature within Brazilian football and its ability to produce top-tier talent.  </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Roraima prefers to play as a No.10, but is yet to make his debut for Brazil at youth levels. As per EU regulations, Barcelona will not be able to sign Roraima officially as a player until he turns 18. The Catalans will use the coming days to assess the player's potential before making any decision.   </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The Blaugrana's next assignment is the much-anticipated El Clasico on Sunday, May 11, at the Montjuic. Hansi Flick's side have a four-point lead over rivals Real Madrid, with just four games left. </p>

WHAT NEXT FOR BARCELONA?
