Barcelona Send Technical Secretary to Watch Copa Libertadores Pair Ahead of Possible Moves

Barcelona are interested in the services of Rodrigo Caio and Everton, after watching them face off in the Copa Libertadores semi-final.

The Libertadores is the biggest club competition in South America, equivalent to the Champions League in Europe. It is no wonder that officials of the biggest clubs in the world have travelled to scout potential talent, considering the intensity and quality of the matches.

One matchup that caught the eye was the all-Brazilian semi final between Flamengo and Gremio. The hosts top the Brazilian Serie A, but Gremio held them to a 1-1 draw in the first leg only to be blown away 5-0 in the second leg; with Barcelona target Caio on the scoresheet.
