Malaga sporting director, Loren Juarros has revealed that Barcelona have been in touch with a view to signing 17-year-old striker Antonito Cordero.
The Catalans were keen to bring in Cordero at the end of the transfer window in a bid to boost Barcelona Atletic’s attack.
Juarros says Barca have been in touch but he’s hoping to keep hold of the highly-rated young star.
“On August 29, I received a call from the director of youth football at FC Barcelona ( José Ramón Alexanko), but we will make an effort to ensure that Antoñito stays here, within the limits of normality and requirements,” he told a press conference.
