Barcelona are set to back out of the race for Brazilian wonderkid Endrick, according to reports from Spanish-based newspaper Marca. It comes just days after Blaugrana boss Xavi admitted his side were following a switch for the striker, but cannot afford to pay the release clause of £51.5million.
It comes as a boost to Chelsea, who have reportedly worked hard behind the scenes to try and land Endrick ahead of other top clubs in the market.
Leao transfer hint
Chelsea transfer target Rafael Leao has dropped a potential hint over a switch to Stamford Bridge in the upcoming window with a "handshake" for Reece James. It comes amid plenty of rumours surrounding the Portugal international joining the Blues after missing out on a deal in the summer.
Dumfries transfer problem
Chelsea have been linked with Inter Milan wing-back Denzel Dumfries as an option to play when Reece James doesn't, given his ability to drive forward with the ball. However, that plan could be thwarted by rivals Tottenham as reports claim that they have made an enquiry to take on the Netherlands international.
