The 23-year-old has been in and out of Luis Enrique’s starting XI this season during his debut campaign for the Spanish giants.
Gomes completed his £40million move from Valencia last summer and was tipped for a bright future playing behind Barca’s deadly frontline trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar.
But Messi is reportedly growing frustrated with Gomes’ contribution and believes Barcelona should sell him, Spanish publication Diario Gol claim.
