Barcelona star winger, Andre Gomes, has reportedly informed the Catalan club that he wants to leave this summer.

Spanish newspaper AS report that the Portuguese will leave the Nou Camp this summer after failing to find form.

The 24-year-old Gomes joined Barca from Valencia in the summer of 2016 in a deal that could reach £48m, and was widely tipped as a successor to Andre Iniesta, but his performances have left a lot to be desired, as he has been booed by fans for a number of months.

But his poor run of form has not stopped United and Italian champions Juventus from reportedly expressing an interest in Gomes’ services.

Speaking about his form and the cold treatment from the Barcelona fans, He said: “Maybe it’s not the best word but life has become a bit of a hell, because I started to feel the pressure.

“The feeling that I have during games is bad. Thinking too much hurts me, because I think about the bad things.

“On more than one occasion I have not wanted to leave the house. People look at you and I’m afraid to walk in the street out of shame.”

NAIJ.com previously reported that Barcelona star attacker, Lionel Messi, has made a move with hopes of stopping Barcelona from selling Andre Gomes this summer.

The Portuguese international is almost certain to be condemned to the transfer market at the end of this season after describing his two years with Barca as "hell".
