Barcelona in contact with Kayserispor teen Emre Demir

Barcelona are eyeing Kayserispor teen Emre Demir.

The 17 year-old midfielder has attracted an approach from Barca, confirmed Kayserispor's president, as they seek to add him to their B squad.

Demir has already trained at La Masia, while he has also attracted interest from Chelsea and Real Madrid.

Diego Angelo, formerly of Kayserispor and now with Genclerbirligi, recently recalled: “Emre is the Messi of Kayserispor. After arriving here, Emre tunnelled me in his second training session and then looked at me. I told him not to do it again and he apologised.

“Emre is a good boy with character, technique and talent. He has to continue like this. He will go to very important places in the future."
