A report claims that Barcelona will have to pay £23m to land Las Palmas defender Mauricio Lemos in this summer's transfer window.

Las Palmas have reportedly informed Barcelona that the Spanish champions will have to pay £23m to land defensive target Mauricio Lemos in this summer's transfer window.

Luis Enrique's side were linked with a move for the 20-year-old last month, but it is understood that their bid, believed to be in the region of £9m, was rejected by the Canary Islanders.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Las Palmas are prepared to part with the youngster this summer, but will demand that Lemos's full release clause of £23m is met before talks can begin.

The Uruguay Under-20 international spent the second half of the 2015-16 season on loan at Las Palmas from Rubin Kazan, before joining the Spanish outfit on a permanent contract last month.
