Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest transfer news in La Liga on Friday, December 18.

Manchester United 'in talks over deal for highly-rated teenager'

Manchester United are reportedly holding discussions with the representatives of Celta Vigo youngster Stefan Bajcetic over a potential move to the English giants.

The 16-year-old currently turns out for Celta's B youth team, with the defender featuring on two occasions during the 2020-21 campaign.

According to La Voz de Galicia, the highly-rated teenager could be heading for United in the near future as his representatives are locked in talks over a switch to Old Trafford.

The report claims that a deal will not be concluded until a compensation fee is agreed with Celta, with Bajcetic's agent insisting that the Spanish club are rewarded for his client's development.

The defender's performances at youth level are believed to have attracted the attention of the Premier League outfit, who could look to close a deal in the coming weeks.

Bajcetic is the son of former Serbian professional footballer Srdan Bajcetic.



Man Utd revive interest in Atletico Madrid's Saul Niguez?

Manchester United have reportedly reignited their interest in Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez.

The 26-year-old was linked with a switch to Old Trafford all throughout the summer, but a move failed to materialise and Saul remained at the Wanda Metropolitano.

However, the Spain international is yet to register a goal or assist in the current campaign and was restricted to a 30-minute run-out as a substitute in the recent derby defeat to Real Madrid.

With speculation mounting over Paul Pogba's future, Todofichajes claims that United have rekindled their interest in Saul, but agreeing a fee with Atletico may prove problematic.

The report claims that the Red Devils will go as high as €70m (£63m) for the midfielder, but Saul has a €150m (£135.1m) release clause in his Atletico contract, and Diego Simeone's side have all the power in negotiations, with Saul contracted to the La Liga giants until 2026.

The Spaniard has struck 41 times and set up 18 more goals for Atletico in all competitions, but Saul's game time in the 2020-21 campaign has been hampered by a muscle injury.
