According to the Records, Porto expressed anger at the news that Cardoso Varella might transfer to Barcelona, and Porto has filed a lawsuit with FIFA over the actions of player's agent Andy Barra.
Porto senior executives were angry and dissatisfied with news about Varella's possible transfer to Barcelona. According to the Records, the club management led by Boas responded quickly and questioned Barcelona and the Spanish Football Association in writing to confirm whether the transfer would actually happen.
About a year ago, the young Portuguese international was "kidnapped" to a fourth-level club in Croatia as a springboard to join a top European club. The matter has been submitted to FIFA for handling, and Varella was eventually unable to play until she was 16, until he signed with Dynamo Zagreb of Croatia and made four appearances for the team's Under 19 last season.
The good relationship between Porto and Barcelona may be damaged, but it will not be completely broken, as the two clubs are considered brothers and the transfer is in fact not completed.
It is worth mentioning that Porto has filed a lawsuit against FIFA for the actions of player agent Andy Barra. Andy Barra has a clear connection with Barcelona and has the potential to bring Varella there. From Porto's perspective, this may make Barcelona sports director Deco in an embarrassing situation in this already very vague process.
In addition, Andy Bala is also the agent of Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia. Although Joan Garcia's contract with Espanyol will not expire until 2028, he is expected to transfer to Barcelona soon. In this case, Varella's name may become a bargaining chip for the agent to ensure that Joan Garcia joins Barcelona.
