Xavi confirmed talks with Endrick: 'We spoke to him and his father; I hope he joins us'

Despite the fact that we are in the middle of a World Cup, the rumours about possible signings do not cease. In the case of Endrick, one of the greatest talents in Brazilian football, the striker is on the radar of big clubs in Europe.

There has been talk of Madrid or Chelsea, among others, and it seems that FC Barcelona are also in the race. Xavi, at an Adidas event in Doha, told 'ESPN' that he has been talking to the player and his entourage.

"We talked to him and his father. I explained the project to them. We want talents like him. He is the kind of player we need. I hope he comes here. It's up to him. He decides," said the Catalan coach.

Finally, the Catalan referred to the top players he has shared a dressing room with or played against. "I've had the opportunity to play against great players like Zidane. He made everything very easy. Messi is the number one without a doubt. It was very easy to play alongside him, as it was with Iniesta and Busquets. They make football so much easier. Messi is an absolute winner and he shows it in every game," he concluded.
