Palmeiras striker Keirrison has revealed that he harbours dreams of playing for Barcelona.

Speaking to Terra, Keirrison said, "Ever since I was young, I have identified with the country and the club."

He continued, "I do not have anything against the other clubs, but I like Barcelona, because I saw a lot of Romario and Ronaldo when I was young, so it is a very large dream to play for Barca.

"Another dream is to play with a great player like Messi."

Keirrison has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona in the past, but he moved to Palmeiras on loan from Coritiba only last month.

However, Barca aren't the only European club after the 20-year-old's signature, as Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Valencia, Manchester United and Liverpool have all been tracking the prodigious forward.
