Barcelona yet to approach teenager Cardoso Valera despite meeting with agents
Summary

Barcelona has not made a move for 17-year-old winger Cardoso Valera despite a recent four-hour meeting between president Joan Laporta, sporting director Deco, and Valera's agents. The Catalans have monitored Valera’s progress at Dinamo Zagreb and the Portugal youth team but have shown no intention to submit an offer. Valera's lack of form last season, with only three goal contributions in 27 appearances, may have influenced Barcelona's decision. His future remains uncertain, with Dinamo Zagreb not guaranteeing his stay and interest from Porto seeming unlikely. Valera is reportedly available for a fee of around €5 million this summer.
