Wolves youngster Ruben Vinagre is being watched by Barcelona as they continue to survey left-back options.
The Portuguese whizkid joined Wolves from Monaco on a permanent £10million deal last summer having impressed on loan in the Championship last season.
And the 19-year-old, who inked a five-year deal when completing his switch to Molineux, has made 19 appearances for the club this term.
Often that has been as a substitute, with Vinagre playing backup to Matt Doherty and Jonny Otto, Wolves’ first-choice wing-back duo.
But according to O Jogo, Barca are continuing to keep tabs on his progress, having first become aware of Vinagre as a 16-year-old, when he was still a part of the Sporting Lisbon academy.
Barca have sent scouts to watch the Portugal Under-19 international on a number of occasions this term - notably the 2-1 win over Manchester United last week.
Barcelona recently handed first-choice left-back Jordi Alba a new contract at Camp Nou, but have been looking for a back-up to the Spain international ever since Lucas Digne's exit to Everton last summer.
Alberto Moreno, the Liverpool outcast, has been mooted as a free transfer option this summer, while Wolves have little desire to sell Vinagre. - who has also been mentioned in his homeland as a potential Liverpool target.
Vinagre is one of eight Portuguese players at Wolves, including the likes of Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho and Rui Patricio.
The wing-back, speaking in an interview in his homeland, states that he is pleased with the progress he has been making in the Black Country.
"My motto is to always to want and look for more, and I will do everything to ensure what comes is much better," said Vinagre.
"This season seems surprising, but we wanted to bring the club to this level or even higher.
"The union of all is reflected in the field and [head coach] Nuno Espírito Santo has helped us all a lot since last season. The environment is excellent."
