Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign starlet Josimar Quintero 16-year-old Barcelona at the end of the season, with the Liga leaders who have prepared to lose several more promising talents to the Premier League.
The Ecuadorian attacking midfielder has said that he will not be taking up offer of a senior contract he told the Spanish club, which will allow him to join Roman Abramovich's this summer for a token fee.
Canos, one of three Barca players was called by Spain for an international tournament against France, Italy and the Czech Republic in April, has been pursued by Liverpool and Tottenham. Like Josimar and Pleguezuelo and the striker has made it clear to his English suitors that financial terms significantly superior to those on offer at Camp Nou will convince him to move abroad.
Fifa rules prevent individuals that are not up to the age of 16 from moving overseas except under special circumstances, but also stop academies from signing their best graduates to long-term contracts until they have reached that age.
