Gustavo Maia's agent believes his client will join Barcelona this summer.

The Catalan club spent one million euros to give themselves first dibs on signing the forward for 3.5 million euros from Sao Paulo.

They have to exercise this option to buy before June 30 in order to keep the price at the aforementioned low figure.

"We're sure that Barcelona will complete the purchase," Danilo Silva, Maia's agent, has told Radio Transamerica.

"There has already been a signal from [Barcelona] and Maia has already started Spanish classes to prepare himself more.

"Other clubs were interested in the last few months, but he never had any doubts: he always wanted to go to Barcelona."

Despite these comments, Barcelona are yet to officially announce the signing of the 19-year-old Brazilian.
