Athletico Paranaense striker Vitor Roque admits he has hopes of joining Barcelona.
Barca and Arsenal are chasing a deal for the teenager.
Roque told Sport: “I am working for this. The competitions I played in last year, the Libertadores and the Brasileirao, will help me to be well prepared when I go to Europe. I’m very happy to be 18 years old, which already allows me to go and play outside my country. My goal is to keep working with humility, because with faith in God everything will work out.
“Look, I try to stay focused on the day-to-day and give my best at Athletico. I’m sure that if I do well here, going to Europe will be a consequence.
“I have to be humble so that everything turns out well. That’s why I always talk about working and thanking God, which is what makes me different. Without work and without God none of this would be happening.”
On the chance of joining Barca, he added: “Yes, it’s a dream not only for me but also for any player who comes along. If I end up going to Barça, it will be a great joy for my family and for me… that’s why I have to keep working hard and hope that everything comes together in time.”
