Brazil’s Uol news portal said on Tuesday that Barcelona scouts were in the northern Italian city Bergamo on Sunday to watch Peres play in Roma’s 1-2 defeat to Atalanta, reports Xinhua.

The report added that Peres has a 20 million-euro buyout clause as part of a complex agreement with his former club Torino.

The 26-year-old was also said to be on Barcelona’s radar during the last European transfer window.

Barcelona are known to be seeking a right-back to replace Dani Alves, who left the club in the summer to join Juventus.
