Sassuolo forward Domenico Berardi has indicated that he would consider a move to Barcelona.
The 21-year-old has been linked with a number of top clubs since scoring 15 Serie A goals last season, and while he insists that he is focused on life with Sassuolo, the idea of training alongside the likes of Lionel Messi intrigues Berardi.
"It's great to see so many teams interested in me as it is a source of pride," he told Sky Sport Italia. "However, my focus is on doing well for Sassuolo, a club that has given me so much.
"Like everyone, I'm working on realising my dream of playing for a big club. I've never thought about playing for Barcelona, but training with someone like (Lionel) Messi would be great. A trio of Messi, Berardi and Neymar is nothing to scoff at."
Since making his Sassuolo debut as an 18-year-old in 2012, Berardi has scored 50 goals in 131 appearances.
