Barcelona are targeting River Plate wonder kid Claudio Echeverri, hoping to get the attacking midfielder in a €25 million deal.
Fabrizio Romano has explained that even though the club, especially Deco, are pushing hard to sign him, they are struggling due to Financial Fairplay Rules.
Romano had earlier reported that Barca want to pay Echeverri's fees in instalments but River Plate require an up-front payment.
The 17-year-old is also reported to be a big fan of the club and Barca would do well to sign him as his numbers for Argentina's youth side are incredible.
Echeverri has 13 goals and 5 assists in 22 games for Argentina's U17 team.
