Barcelona coach Xavi has confirmed they're in talks with Palmeiras superkid Endrick.

The 16-year-old made his professional debut for the Brazilian side in October, and has since attracted interest from across the footballing world, with PSG reportedly having a £40million bid for the forward rejected earlier this month.

"[We] have been talking with his [Endrick's] father and also directly with the player too. I explained the project at Barcelona," Xavi said in an interview with ESPN.

"We want talented players, and he is a talent, capable of making difference. He has the great finishing, dribbling and a capacity to make a difference on the pitch. He is a player already of the present, playing in the Brazilian league, and also the future.

"He already knows the project we have at Barcelona and we are talking. I hope he becomes our player. It depends on him. This kind of thing always depends on the player.

"Normally, a player ends up playing where he wants to play, so it is a very personal decision of Endrick."
