The Catalans are however still in chase for the Palmeiras wonderkid despite statement from the President.
Of a truth, Barcelona are low on funds and as such have opted to acquiring players who have had their contracts expire.
This clearly contradicts their chase for 16-year-old Endrick Felipe who has also received strong interest from other clubs.
Laporta in a recent interview shared that Barcelona won’t be signing this winter but that clearly never meant that they are out of the race for Felipe.
The 16-year-old can only join any team in Europe after he must have turned 18-years of age and Barcelona Believe they will be financially recovered by then.
The club have no plans of backing out of the race for Endrick and remain in strong contention for his signature.
