Varela's agent is Andy Bara, who also represents Dani Olmo.
Varela is yet to sign pro terms with Porto, so could instead go fulltime with Barca.
Jijantes is reporting: "This signing follows the roadmap established by the 'culé' club in recent years: signing promising players cheaply or at zero cost to facilitate their development and acquire the Barça DNA from a very young age."
