Barcelona want Wolverhampton Wanderers youngster Ruben Vinagre?

Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Ruben Vinagre has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Barcelona.

Vinagre has spent the last two seasons at Molineux, with a total of 22 starts and nine substitute appearances being made in all competitions.

The 19-year-old has established himself as a valuable member of Nuno Espirito Santo's first-team squad, but according to O Jogo, Wolves face a battle to keep hold of the youngster.

Barcelona have allegedly sent scouts to watch the Portuguese in action, with representatives of the Catalan giants present when Wolves faced Manchester United last week.

Vinagre still has over four years remaining on his contract at Wolves, but that is unlikely to stop widespread interest in his signature from top European clubs.
