Barcelona is showing a keen interest in the talented young forward, Cardoso Varela, currently at Dinamo Zagreb.

Rising Star at Dinamo Zagreb

Varela, who made the switch to Dinamo last year from Porto, has quickly established himself in the first team, impressing with his performances for Portugal’s youth squads.

Background and Connections

Before his move to Croatia, Varela honed his skills at Barcelona’s famed academy, La Masia. His agents have been in consistent communication with Deco, the club’s sporting director, about potential future opportunities.

Potential Transfer Developments

According to Mundo Deportivo, Deco is considering the possibility of signing Varela for Barcelona next year. Reports indicate that the club may face a decision between acquiring Varela or opting for a full transfer of Marcus Rashford from Manchester United.

It’s also been noted that Varela may be hesitant to join Barcelona if there are no clear avenues for him to play in the first team.
