Liverpool and Manchester United 's hopes of signing Brazilian wonderkid Endrick have been dealt a major blow - with Barcelona having held early transfer talks.
The 16-year-old has become one of the most sought-after young players in world football despite only making seven senior appearances for Palmeiras. It has previously been reported that a number of clubs in the Premier League - including United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal - are keeping a close eye on him.
They will face plenty of competition to sign the Brazilian, with Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and many more having been credited with an interest. It appears that the Catalan giants are the front-runners, though, as Xavi has confirmed that talks have already been held regarding a future switch to Camp Nou.
