Barcelona have reached an initial agreement to sign Keirrison from Palmeiras. The forward could not hide his delight as he revealed his dream of playing alongside Lionel Messi.

“I would really like to play alongside Lionel Messi,” Sport quote Keirrison as stating. “He is the best player in the world. “Since I was very young I have wanted to play… with a great club and, although I have nothing against any others, I have always identified with Barcelona.

“I saw a lot of games when Romario and Ronaldo were there and that made me dream that one day I would play at Barcelona.”
