The 24-year-old Italy international has been heavily linked with a move to the Nou Camp this summer, although there has also been interest from Inter Milan, Juventus and Tottenham.

And Federico Pastorello says Barcelona remains Rossi's preferred destination.

"It would be a dream for him to play for a team like Barca," he told Premium Calcio.

"There is nothing concrete at the moment, and it would be great if there were some kind of sign on Barca's behalf.

"With an official negotiation, I believe we could reach an agreement."

If not, Pastorello says there is no shortage of interest from other clubs.

"Several teams have fixed their attentions on Rossi and some of them are Italian," he said.
