Barcelona, Roma favourites for Lucas Ocampos?

Barcelona and Roma reportedly lead the chase for River Plate midfielder Lucas Ocampos.

The 17-year-old has scored six goals in 24 appearances for the club this season, and is valued in the region of £12.5m, according to Clarin.

It is understood that the figure is unlikely to deter Barcelona and Roma, who are both said to be preparing an approach.

The club hold 50% of Ocampos's rights, while an investment group holds 35%, with a further 15 belong to first team Quilmes.
