Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that Barcelona sports director Txiki Begiristain will travel to Brazil tomorrow to watch the Brazil versus Argentina game and to talk to São Paulo attacking midfielder and Brazilian international Hernanes (23).
Although Arsenal midfielder Hleb would still be the favourite option, a transfer seems difficult which makes Barcelona turn to Hernanes, a player who has been strongly recommended by Pep Costa, Barcelona's head scout for the Brazilian market.
Begiristain will also hold talks with São Paulo officials. The Brazilian club would at this moment be asking 15 million euro° for Hernanes, while Barcelona wants to lower that to 10 million euro°.
Catalan sports paper Sport claims that Begiristain will meet with São Paulo president Juvenal Juvêncio later this week in São Paulo to discuss the transfer of Hernanes. With Barcelona offering 10 million euro°, São Paulo would be holding on to the buyout clause of 25 million euro° (read more here).
Barcelona would already have closed a deal with sports marketing agency Traffic, who ownes 25 per cent of the player's rights and is also acting as Hernanes' agent.

Not seen much of this lad but what i have seen has impressed, although hleb is a good player hernanes is younger, plus barca had good run with brazilians - romario, rivaldo, ronaldinho, this lad could be next.

Some of these contracts the South American players have are bloody confusing! It seems everyone's got their hands in the pie! First it says that they (the team) would agree to sell Hernanes for 15 Euro, while Barcelona currently are offering 10mil. Then towards the end of the article it says the team is holding out for 25mil, the player's buyout clause! So which is it?! 15mil or 25mil?! Reading this stuff just makes you want to pull your hair out of your head!
