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

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.



Report: Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum set to join Barcelona

Georginio Wijnaldum has reportedly rejected Liverpool's latest contract offer as he has already decided that he wants to join Barcelona.

The Netherlands international is into the final six months of his existing deal and is therefore able to discuss terms over an end-of-season transfer with foreign clubs.

Liverpool had been hopeful of convincing Wijnaldum to extend his contract and stay on for at least another year, but Todo Fichajes suggests that he has rejected the renewal as the Reds were unwilling to match his demands.

It is claimed that the 30-year-old will instead wait for his contract to expire in the summer and join Barca on a free contract.

Wijnaldum has featured 24 times for Liverpool in all competitions this season, scoring one goal and assisting none.
