With United and Spurs circling for the 24-year-old ex-Valencia midfielder, Juve are now said to have now entered the race.

The £45million signing played made just 17 Liga starts last season and has struggled to adapt in Catalonia.

Sport say that agent Jorge Mendes has several clubs interested in signing his client.

And Juve are believed to have moved to the front of the queue, with the possibility of an initial loan deal with an option to buy.

Gomes is yet to make an impact under Barca boss Ernesto Valverde and has made just one league start this season.

Valverde has preferred using Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets and Ivan Rakitic in midfield.

And summer signing Paulinho also appears ahead of Gomes in the pecking order.
