Barcelona have completed the signing of Fluminense's attacking midfielder Robert Goncalves on loan until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old will move to Barcelona's B side, while the club have the option to extend the deal beyond the end of the current campaign.

Robert has scored one goal in four substitute appearances in the latest Brasileirao Serie A season and has been a regular for Brazil's Under-15 and Under-17 sides.

The midfielder came through Fluminense's academy and made his first-team debut at the age of 17 in 2013 but did not feature at all in 2014 after being involved in a serious car crash.

Robert's move to Barcelona is also likely to have been aided by the club's good relationship with Fluminense. Earlier in 2015, the Spanish champions had the option to sign Kenedy, who eventually joined Chelsea, and Gerson, who has been signed by Roma.
