The 24-year-old Brazil international, who was out of action for eight months last year due to a knee injury, joined Barcelona aged 13 and rose through the ranks.
He has scored one goal in two games for the Selecao but injuries blighted his Barca first team chances.
He needed surgery and was out for more than six months after tearing a cruciate knee ligament against Roma at the end of 2015.
He then went under the knife again last year after suffering a meniscus injury against Granada in April.
