Barcelona are being tipped to sign 16-year-old Portuguese winger Cardoso Varela after the player and his agent met sporting director Deco for talks.
Varela has also been for a tour around the Ciutat Esportiva as Barca close in on his signing, according to Jijantes. The report claims the transfer “has been simmering for weeks and with total discretion.”
The teenager has been likened to both Vinicius Jr and Jeremy Doku but has had a bit of a curious time recently, as the thread below details.
To cut a long story short, he’s most recently been at Porto but then popped up in Croatia and tried to sign for NK Dinamo Odranski Obrez but saw his registration blocked by FIFA.
