Barcelona are eyeing Leicester City midfielder Sidnei Tavares.
The Sun says the 19-year-old midfielder’s contract with the Foxes runs out this summer – and Barca are hoping a sizeable sum this month will land them the young talent.
But if no deal can be agreed in this window, the Spanish giants have a gentleman’s agreement with Leicester to be Tavares’ first choice destination in the summer should he not extend his current contract.
Leicester have so far made no attempts to begin talks over a new deal.
Tavares only moved up to Leicester’s U23 squad last summer, and made a huge impression in pre-season with the senior side where Brendan Rodgers described him as “real talent”.
He has been a stand-out in the U23s qualification to the second round of the EFL Trophy, including a stunning free-kick away to Grimsby Town in November.
