Barcelona reach agreement with Endrick's camp
The young starlet is a target but Barcelona can't do anything in the short term
Barca are not out of the battle for Endrick, the 16-year-old rising star at Palmeiras. PSG are in the lead and the Madrid media cavern is already announcing with great fanfare that Florentino Perez will fight with the Qatari-owned sports club for Endrick.
Barcelona had started working to sign the striker but the UCL KO has changed their plans. All finances are being diverted to the January market as they look for a defensive midfielder and a right back. The goal is short-term trophies for Joan Laporta and his board, who demand them.
They told Endrick he would have to wait until the summer to reach any kind of deal with Palmeiras, knowing that there was a real chance of losing the starlet.
The relationship between Barca and the young player’s people is fluid and so the club have got the promise that they will always be kept aware of any movement for him there is.
As SPORT reported, there was a meeting in September in Barcelona where they agreed the base of the strategy the club would use to sign him, knowing that he cannot come to Europe until 2024 when he reaches 18.
Now, focused on the winter market, Barcelona did not want to ask Endrick to wait, he understands it already. There’s a door open at Camp Nou for him, but right now that’s a long time away.
