Reports are out claiming that Barcelona technical chief Robert Fernandez insists a deal for Fluminense midfielder Gerson remains on.
The Brazilian has been linked with Roma this week – despite Barca paying over €3 million to have first option.
“Gerson is a young player with a lot of qualities and we could make a bid at any time,” said Fernandez.
“That’s the most important thing, that we have the possibility of signing him.”
