Santos recently announced Barbosa had agreed a contract extension till 2021, a move that teenager refuted.

"No, there is still no agreement. The president ended up talking, but there is nothing confirmed," Barbosa told Globe Esporte.

"We are just talking. My parents and my representatives are talking. They have some things to discuss. I have proposals, too, but there's nothing confirmed yet.

"I need to talk with my parents and my representatives. We are talking and we are going to resolve it slowly."
