Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest transfer news in the Premier League on Thursday, January 7.

Thursday morning's Premier League transfer talk news roundup:


Barcelona 'lining up move for Leicester City teenager Sidnei Tavares'

Barcelona are reportedly keen on bringing Leicester City youngster Sidnei Tavares to Camp Nou.

The 19-year-old moved up to Leicester's Under-23s side over the summer and has featured on three occasions in Premier League 2 this term, contributing one assist.

The Portuguese's existing deal at the King Power Stadium is due to expire this summer, though, and according to The Sun, the Foxes have 'made no attempts' to open talks over an extension.

First-team manager Brendan Rodgers is said to be an admirer of the teenager, but Barca are allegedly hopeful that offering 'a sizeable sum' this month will allow them to complete a deal.

Tavares, who is the cousin of former Manchester United attacker Nani, has also been linked with Juventus, Porto, Celtic and Bayern Munich.

The central midfielder has represented Portugal at Under-18s and Under-19s level.



Manchester United 'would have to spend £90m on Jack Grealish'

Manchester United will reportedly have to part with £90m should they wish to sign Jack Grealish from Aston Villa.

The England international continues to be linked with a move to Old Trafford, despite the Red Devils moving for Donny van de Beek instead last summer.

Grealish has been in fine form for the Villans this term, scoring and assisting a combined 12 goals in 15 Premier League matches.

Villa accept that the 25-year-old may be tempted by a move elsewhere, but The Athletic claims that they will not budge on their huge valuation should United come calling.

One-club man Grealish only signed a new long-term deal at Villa Park in September, keeping him under contract until the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

Juventus forward Paulo Dybala is rumoured to be another target for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side this year, although a transfer is unlikely in the January window.
