Barcelona are confident they're in the mix to sign Palmeiras teen Endrick.

PSG are in the lead, while Real Madrid are also in the battle.

Barcelona had started working to sign the striker but their Champions League elimination has changed their plans, says Sport.

All finances are being diverted to the January market as they look for a defensive midfielder and a right back. The goal is short-term trophies for Joan Laporta and his board, who demand them.

They have since told Endrick he would have to wait until the summer to reach any kind of deal with Palmeiras, knowing that there was a real chance of losing the starlet.

The relationship between Barca and the young player's people is fluid and so the club have been told they will always be kept aware of any movement for him there is.
